“She instead should have ignored addressing the ruling directly and stated all of the ways she would fight to serve all in the state.”
She met yoy half way. She did address the ruling (foolish not to because it would have come up in the campaign anyway), and she did lay out the things she would work to do as Senator.
To verbally oppose the ruling was not wise. Politics aside - it wasn't wise for her soul. Leaders who don't support the innocent will have that blood on their hands.
