"The Daily Show" laid into the headhunters responsible for Graham Platner's candidacy after the embattled Senate hopeful dropped out.
Oooh, he was the pick of a consultant team from outside of Maine who didn't do a background check and seemingly picked him in a panic in response to the 2024 election, that explains so much!
Y'know so many of the Democrats problems would be solved by just not hiring consultants in the first place. Like the ones who in the 2024 election told the Democrats to stop Walz messaging on how weird the GOP candidates were because, while it was popular with existing Democrat voters and people on the left, they felt it would alienate the imaginary Republican voters they thought would be attracted to the Harris campaign by leaning into the Chaney endorsements instead.
Because what Democrats want is more Republicans... Although admittedly, that was what Aaron Sorkin suggested Biden should do (having a Republican on his cabinet), a display of naivety that explains why the West Wing is such a frustrating, infuriating watch.
