Yeah, nope, she’s a bad candidate with no substance.

You would think after seeing the Democrats pull this routine in VA, they would smarten up. Trump leaves doors wide open for team D, and they somehow manage to find a way to blow it.

Clear to me that Ms Porter is a perfect example of 'White Grievance Politics'

Someone actually married those arms?

You have a knack for focusing on the least important of this discussion.

For future reference: People marry other whole people, not their body parts.

Which shows you as a misogynist. (Since that is not something you would say about a male politician!)

I would definitely say that about a male politician with those arms and that sleeveless top.

Hmmmm. As a woman I hate the fact she’s going to be called out for this behavior when we all know Trump behaves much worse than this on a daily basis and no one clutches their pearls over his behavior. That being said, would I want to spend time with her? Heck no. And I also don’t think you have to be rude and argumentative to be strong.

If you ignore the abrasive behavior she comes across as unprepared and not willing to discuss issues. Neither of these are a good look and if I was a CA voter, I’d be looking for an alternative candidate to support.

For folks willing to watch, this is the entire set of interviews, where yes, the reporter asks EVERY SINGLE CANDIDATE the same questions.

Comms 101: answer the question you want asked, not the one you were asked. Like they all did except her.

Katie's cooked.

To win an election voters need to believe you are capable, effective, approachable, and able to communicate.

She demonstrated none of these qualities in her interview.

Is Katie Porter an edgy, sometimes nasty 'b word'? Maybe, but even if she is, I don't care.

Politics right now in the USA is the ugliest it's been in my lifetime - I'm pretty old.

We need pugilists to take on the MAGA poison that has invaded our political system. We don't need soft spoken appeasers.

Bring it on, Katie - they'll hate you just as much if you're nicey nice, so you might as well bring the righteous anger of a single mother who has spent decades watching the system screw tens of millions of single mothers. We need you to FIGHT for us!

It’s crazy for me to say this but I think it is possible California could elect a red governor, if Porter is the blue option.

I agree. There's a lot of resentment toward progressives in California. Even San Francisco recalled their DA. If Democrats choose a rude, abrasive, and unlikeable candidate, they will be vulnerable as long as Republicans choose someone sane. People can mock Arnold Schwarzenegger, but he would win in a heartbeat over Katie Porter today.

You only have issue with this because she’s a woman. If she was a man, you would vote her into the WH. If we accept bad behavior from one politician; we accept it from all.

Weird conclusion.. It doesn't make "Dems" look bad, it makes her look bad.

Like her or not, gurnpiness in an interview dlest swing an election.

California has a strong Democrat majority and the Republicans have declared military war against the state. Porter is fine. California needs a wartime governor who won't play nice with traitors.

She is a woman, she is not skinny, she is short-tempered. That’s 3 strikes. If we are being honest, it is really the woman thing that is the big problem.

Trump walked out of multiple interviews. He got the job twice.

Porter feels like she’s being played for some reason, says she’s going to leave, and says “THANK YOU” before she walks out (read the transcript), and “OH NO, what a &itch, she’s tanked her run!!!!!”

I don’t like how she reacted, but I like this double standard about men and women even less.

You cannot compare the two. Kavanaugh was falsely accused of gang rape. That tends to upset people.

Katie Porter was asked a question by a reporter.

Kavanaugh was caught red-faced while his cronies tried to cover it up.

She's also not someone who RUNS anything. She's another lawyer. Why is she running for Governor?

She should be in a legislature creating laws, not trying to run organizations and the whole of government.

Republicansm nominated a bobybuilder and 2 actors.
