She sounds like a winner overall.

But let me ask this:

Dr. Schrier said this: "The biggest problems facing the 8th—and the world—for Schrier are healthcare, climate change (which she called "the big moral question of our time"), education, and the economy."

I'd agree with that list of priorities, although I would probably put climate change at the top of the agenda (because if we can't feed our population, both things threatened by climate change, the other stuff doesn't really matter).

But then she says this: "I 100 percent disagree with the [DCCC's] decision to support anti-choice candidates."

Let's hypothetically take someone who is no pro-choice but who also lines up reasonably well on those other four issues she listed as priorities (not impossible; all four of those things would be something, say, a traditionalist Catholic could get behind). Does this mean that even if a potential candidate lines up with Schrier one those issues that she says are her top priorities, even if it meant the difference between electing a Democrat or a Republican in a more conservative district, even if it meant losing the House to the GOP again, she couldn't possibly work with someone pro-life?

So does that mean that abortion is really her number one priority overall? Because that's kind of how it sounds. And personally, I'd rather have a candidate who's more about working on those other four issues as a top priority.

Please wait...
