Roughly the interpretation is that, using her current approach, one will end up with a Republican senator whether wanted or not. The only possible hope of any other outcome is to be vastly more democratic. The odds are better that she'll win if she stakes out a uniquely different position than her ultimate opponent, not showing how little difference there is.
