It would have been far far better for them not to have done that.

Ms. Abrams doesn't work alone. She has very capable people working with her.
If she had the seat she should have had, she could have been equally or more influential in bending these races to the good.
Like you, I give her tremendous credit, but if she was governor, I think it's likely the outcome would be the same.
After all, she'd still be there. Just in a different chair

However, he may have attacked her badly enough that the D voters would be energized by this.
But, if we agree that this is trump's fault, I'll be happy!
