Krystal Ball continues to battle the Democratic party

For a while, John Solomon's protégés at the Hill were content with pretending that they wanted progressive policies and they had hoped that Sanders would be the best candidate and that he would win. Now that he's gone, they openly attack the Democratic party and openly attack Biden.

John Solomon hired her because of her willingness to attack every single elected Democrat in North America. She continues her campaign against progress.

He even eventually began pretending he was a Sanders supporter and that he wanted a Sanders administration, although at times he let slip that he was absolutely opposed to any element of progressive legislation.

I think she's fine where she is.

She has a really good life going, she runs a consulting firm that pays 90% of its fundraising directly into her bank account, and she gets to pretend that she is some kind of progressive person. The funds come from the Rudy Giuliani network that she works with.

When Giuliani's Russian mobsters were arrested trying to leave the country, she was literally sitting with Giuliani.

She's worth $44M. Quite a stash for someone who was complaining about student loans when she was on MSNBC.

and attacked for her hypocrisies.

High level leaders should stay out of the fray.

Ignoring her completely won't help.

She and I used to be friends when she worked at MSNBC. We used to have breakfast or lunch or dinner whenever I was in NYC. My wife and I had dinner at her apartment, and she invited me to the MSNBC studios for a live show of "The Cycle."

She was sharp, lucid, and logical. I have no idea for the life of me what has turned her. To her credit, she hasn't tried to turn me, at least.

I haven't heard from her in a couple of years, now. Maybe this is why.
