The Rise And Fall Of 'Resistance' Hero Alexander Vindman
Authored by Blaise Malley via Responsible Statecraft,
On paper, Alexander Vindman's loss in last week's Florida Democratic Senate was a shocking upset. After all, Vindman had a 16-to-1 fundraising advantage and far more national name recognition than the winner - progressive state Rep. Angie Nixon.
