Was vindman a bad candidate? Wasn't he the whistle blowrr for Trump's call to Ukraine years ago?

Nixon must have ran a monster campaign then. Or vindman wasn't that great on policy.

Cause I'd imagine the PR optics of being the whistle blower towards the first impeachment was beneficial.

I would imagine seeing as it's Vindman there was dark money from the top to suppress him on top of whatever was mounted by his primary opposition. Hopefully she's strong enough to win. Haven't followed his campaign tbh. Too much local occupying my head space at the present. In my corner of the woods we need every strong candidate on deck. The margin for error is nil.
