6. "Blame her for dropping out"
Thu Apr 30, 2026, 01:20 PM
Thursday

Because she was getting beaten handily.

She was a weak candidate when she, on paper, should have been strong.

That is evidence to me of a candidate that is going through the motions and doesn't really care or understand the gravity of the moment. She wanted to cruise and she isn't willing to fight.

I watched her town halls. She was contemptuous of the people there, and it was a bad look.

It is entirely on her for not fighting harder, messaging better, and responding to the voters.
