Politicians give a lot of excuses for why they do things.
I think what is most revealing is how she talks about what most politicians do and how she’s “not politics as usual.”
I think she may be trying to make it look like she’s “shaking things up” as a cover for taking an ill-advised gamble for her own self-promotion.
Anything she tries to do after this will get her branded as a flake and an opportunist.
i think she told you the truth: the politics of personal destruction groupies have her pretty well tied up. that isn’t her fault. she would prefer not to stay in their strait jacket. you would prefer she did. we’ll see how it works out.
