Where she blew it was when she said she wouldn't do anything different than Biden. That was the end for her campaign.

iirc her campaign said “the Biden people” demanded she say that.

That was “the Biden people”’s point, yeah.

She wasn't required to listen to the biden people. The biden people hid his mental decline until it was too late. Their political instincts are runny dogshit just like their entire wing of the party.

So either she should have not made that promise or she should have broken it. Easy enough. It's not like she didn't know what was on the line.

I think that's a hindsight sort of thing. Of course she should have. But we all know the answer.
