C'mon Slava, surely you understand the difference between dumping an office flunky off your staff and dumping a candidate a week ahead of the election. I'm not saying Smith was right in her response - clearly she was not - but lets not make Redford out as some kind of heroine for having the "courage" to force an easily replacable person out of their job.
It doesn't matter how it actually looks (firing a nobody versus a nominated candidate), its how its perceived. A member of the Redford team made a gaffe and was reprimanded for it. Members of the Smith team made gaffes and nothing happened. It makes one wonder (rightly or wrongly) about Danielle's strength as a leader.
