Like the vast majority of people on the Left, she lives in an alternate reality ... a "reality" she wishes was true. Leftists truly believe that if they believe "hard enough", that if they it want to be real badly enough and, especially, if they're loud enough and say it enough it will become true!
Honest to God, this is the way Democrat/Leftists think and act. That's one of the big reasons they're shocked when reality bites them in the arse.
