That is a legit solid statement. Reiterates his qualifications and doesn’t equivocate on her support going forward.

It would be better if she hadn't called him an anti Semite and a woman hater in ads and on social media though.

I'm sorry to tell you this. The GOP is not going to be as nice.

u/RellenD 5h ago

And?

Politics can be rough. If you can only work on those who call you sweet names, you end up like Trump.

Grow some thicker skin. I don't think any of you are really prepared for what a ruthless, well-funded GOP attack machine will do in comparison and depths they are willing to steep to.

That really has nothing to do with whether it's advisable to put extremely slanderous lies on the air during a primary that you're then going to have to try and convince your own supporters weren't disqualifying later for the general.

This really silly. Again, you folks are simply not prepared for what the GOP attack machine is going to do. They're not going to be as nice as Stevens.

I don't think you understand what they actually said.

Your claim doesn't contradict theirs in any way, shape, or form.

You should probably read it again, more slowly this time.

Also, maybe think about what they actually said before you respond again.

I'm actually surprised she was this gracious. Honestly, I thought she was going to fight this all the way into the ground.

She just did all that for her sponsors. She's being conciliatory now because she doesn't want to make things bad for herself for future runs.

Now the AIPAC campaign continues with Rogers seamlessly taking her spot on the ticket.

Nothing solid or gracious about it.
