Jaicee said: A month ago, Turner concurrently enjoyed a 40-point lead over Brown. My point being that this race was clearly her's to lose from the outset, not Brown's to win. That's why I say that the characterization of Shontel Brown as an "establishment" candidate up against a populist underdog in Nina Turner feels a bit misleading in a certain sense. Brown did NOT enjoy any kind of starting advantage. Furthermore, the threat of a Republican victory in the district was non-existent and as such pragmatism was an argument the Brown-aligned forces couldn't rely on like they often do in other elections. And yet Brown won anyway. |
Another look, or point of view on this situation
According to other people looking into this, Corporate/Est money did back Brown (Even the Israelis organisation DMFI donated heavily against Turner), and the Peoples money did back Turner
Pro Turner/Anti Brown $904k (source: Dem Action PAC)
Pro Brown/Anti Turner $2.7M (source: Dem Action PAC)
In the end the Hillary/Corp Dems status quo was maintained, resulting in governance policies less likely to be progressive going forward
