Rick Weiland implodes, accuses DSCC of sabotaging his campaign

It still doesn't sound like Weiland is a fan of Harry Reid:

I'm sure tying himself to Elizabeth Warren will work well in an uber-Republican state.

You know something? Other websites are saying this is a very bold move by Weiland. Why all the Debbie Downerism here?

Which is worse: Rounds's scandal, or this?

Probably because Weiland is going to cost us this seat and should have dropped out when Pressler started surging, or better yet, never ran in the first place.

Pressler is overrated. Orman is a much better candidate.

No offense or anything, but what's your point?  What matters is that Pressler could've won a head-to-head with Rounds while Weiland has shown he couldn't beat a bowl of tomato soup.  Given that Pressler would've caucus with the Democrats and voted well to the left of his state, who cares whether he's stronger or weaker than Orman?  Pressler may be somewhat weaker than Orman, but Weiland is about fifty times weaker than Chad Taylor

Weiland is actually a stronger candidate than Pressler, if Pressler's utter collapse is any evidence. I think, for sure, Pressler would've been a better Senator, but he was just a couple of points behind Rounds before falling to 19%.

Because *both* parties simultaneously nuked him and he had no money for a large ad buy to counter the two-pronged onslaught.  If the Democrats had just completely cut Weiland lose and gotten 100% behind Pressler when that one SurveyUSA poll came out in early October and spent money both attacking Rounds and boosting Pressler, we'd likely be looking at a very different race.

He's trying to consolidate his base which is his best of many bad options. Warren isn't toxic in conservative states since her economic populism is broadly popular.

Pressler's residency issues doomed him.

If you're arguing Pressler couldn't win a head-to-head with Rounds, while I disagree, it's certainly not an unreasonable position.  If you're arguing that Pressler couldn't win a head-to-head with Rounds, but Weiland could...well...that's a rather questionable claim at best.

Judging by the complete reversal of the poll numbers, neither could, but Pressler's numbers were, unarguably, much much softer than Weilands. In a shocking scenario I could see Pressler win, Weiland couldn't, but I think Weiland would have a higher average due to Democrat loyalty.

Pressler never had (and still doesn't have) an actual functioning, funded campaign. He was just coasting on name recognition. Weiland dropping out for him would have been a joke.
