Apparently, people working for the Democrats have no clue how candidates have traditionally won office. They say what will get them elected, and then do whatever their agenda is when the are in office. That’s just the way it is. Forcing a candidate to commit to an unpopular, election killing statement is stupid. The whole trick to politics is to state things in a way that somebody who believes in X will think you support it while somebody who hates X believes you are against it. For a good example, read anything a Kennedy said...any Kennedy at any time.

Not just democrat candidates, too. "Repeal Obamacare", "Strengthen the border", "cut spending" ... they did the opposite in every case.

Generally has the opposing effect on me.
Spout nonsense, gibberish, or start your reply with something like “Well, that is a good question...” and the rest is automatically discarded as lie or irrelevant.

Exactly. If she’s too stupid not to realize this, then she deserves to lose.

And fr that campaign manager? Quit the drama. You “quit” because you got caught and stop lying to us you quit due to principles. Dummycrats have no principles.
