I have not, nor am I defending her. I made my case. Take it or leave it. Just don't falsely accuse me of defending her because that's not what I'm doing.

My logic has not veered off. You keep repeating yourself by saying 'she was close' and that's it.
Your every rebuttal to me is, are you ready...'she was close.' You are defending her statements, and by defending them, you are defending her. How can you not see that?
