California Governor Race: It's time for Porter-If Dems can support a woman [View all]

"The longtime rap against the former congresswoman is that she didn’t play well in the sandbox with her fellow House members. Several members of the California delegation have told me this privately, including one who said she often “Momsplains” to them.

All but one of those members was a man.

At this point, the Democrats could use some Momsplaining. And rallying behind Porter could solve both of their problems."
