(14,249 posts)But she's behaving as if her win has gone to her head and she thinks she should play a bigger role in the party than a not-even-elected-yet candidate should play. Instead of running around the country with Sanders trying to be a kingmaker, she should be focusing on her race, her district and learning the ropes so that she can be an effective Member of Congress. And she should definitely be careful about trying to take down people who are proven and effective advocates and representatives or new faces who, just like she is, are trying to diversify and energize the party and who, even if they're not as progressive as she is (which isn't the case at all with Davids, who is VERY progressive), are right for their districts, constituents and our big tent party.
