    The DNC funded Schiff hard and even funded the GOP candidate for attack ads against her. I mean you’re objectively correct: she lost. But she was fighting two parties by the time the primary happened.

    She announced her intent to run too early back when effort was still being made to “Weekend At Bernies” Feinstein, which waa her undoing.

      Look, I like Porter more than Schiff, and if you want to blame Pelosi (not Feinstein) for being unfair in galvanizing support for Schiff before the contest was even started really, that’s one thing.

      But the main reason Schiff won is just that he’s a more prominent politician who has a wider base of support. Democrats writ large prefer him to Porter, that’s primarily why he won imo.
