Democratic candidate attacking Democratic candidates is a selfish move and hurts us all

1) None of this matters because everyone is just yelling as loudly as possible in favor of their preferred candidates, but I’ll say it anyway: I love Kamala Harris and she won tonight - but she may have unfortunately screwed herself long term, and even she seems to know it.

   2) Harris was on track to win BIG tonight with her sharp and cool as a cucumber answers in the first half. Those answers likely gained her a huge amount of new supporters, because she’s so impressive but the media had been burying her up to now.

   3) Then Harris lost her cool and attacked Biden in a barely controlled and deeply personal way that seemed out of character for her. Right or wrong, this moment likely cost her a large chunk of the supporters she’s just gained. Moreover, she made an ugly mess of the primary.

   4) Kamala’s best moment was her food fight line. Then she turned around and threw the ugliest punch. It erased the “I’m the adult in the room” message she was looking to promote. In her post debate interviews, she seemed to be already regretting her attack on Biden.

   4) So yeah, she’ll climb in the polls, but probably not as much as she would have if she hadn’t thrown that punch. Moreover, 90% of the coverage/questions she’ll get over the next month will be about the punch. Not the issues, not Trump, but why she called Biden a (non)-racist.

   5) Lesser candidates would love the opportunity to spend the next month being fed easy opportunities to keep attacking the frontrunner’s character. But that’s not why Kamala got into this race. Don’t be shocked if she largely walks back her Biden remarks this week.
