Maxine seems to be in the news almost everyday. There seems to be a concerted effort to keep her in the public eye and build awareness of her.
What is the real agenda of the Democrat Party and the progressive media with respect to giving this one California representative an abundance of national exposure? Given her age it certainly isn’t a matter of conditioning the public to see her as a viable national candidate. It isn’t promoting her as a candidate for US Senate since both California senators are entrenched. She is unlikely at her age to run to replace Governor Moonbeam. Other politicians, with potential for future office, would die for the amount of media airtime she is receiving. She doesn’t make profound statements, in fact much of what she says is a turnoff to many people the DNC needs to bring into the fold. Why Maxine versus a young rising minority politician?
She is the distraction.
No one ever claimed the Democratic Party was filled with rocket surgeons.
Because they don't have to choose. They don't have to say, "Do we want Corey Booker or Kamala Harris -- or Warren or Gillibrand or Castro or Cuomo?
Promoting Maxine is like promoting John Lewis -- neither of them is going to run for president, so the media can give them some airtime without committing themselves to one candidate and rejecting all the others.
I think they use untouchable ensconced Democrats like Waters and Cummings to do their dirty work so that those in riskier seats undertake no personal risk or embarassment.
