Perhaps she confused herself even.

Whatever it was, voters didn't buy it. And she was a registered Dem running as a republican.

Nothing made sense.

She was basically saying she was "pro-choice", but wouldn't actually say it. Women really aren't that stupid.

without mentioning Dobbs/abortion rights. Republicans probably wish that was so but they'd better take notice that women have not forgotten that trump's SCOTUS and republicans ripped rights away from them.

foolishly believe the abortion issue will go away, but women are never going to forget. It affects their lives personally more immigration and crime. Shows how little republican politicians actually understand women voters. Taking away people's rights is never a good tactic.

Jewish people as a rule are not anti-abortion, and she is an immigrant running on a 95% anti-immigration platform.
Though I was also trying for a little humor.

...voters don't want republicans anymore.

Seriously, as nutty as she was, she was no different than a lot of them.
