Republicans want to make her the face of the party, if she says shit like this, it makes the party in general harder to define as radical left. It may help moderate Republicans and Independents vote against Тяцмр.

Where it does hurt is with the young people and lefty left types who won’t vote for our nominee because they’re too “corporate” or whatever.

I don’t know if she’s dumb like a fox or just dumb.
