She is a lunatic. Does she seriously think that any sane man would want to date her? Imagine waking up in bed with that donkey! It would be reason to never drink again.
“Imagine waking up in bed with that donkey!”
Execute the coyote maneuver.
“Does she seriously think that any sane man would want to date her?”
No, but enough tequila makes some men insane...temporarily.
Objectively, she conforms to many of the standards of physical attractiveness. Trim figure with feminine curves, high cheekbones,, good facial symmetry, clear skin, multi-ethnic features, long well-maintained hair. She may not be everyone's type, but as an early twenties bartender, she was probably hit on by multiple guys of various levels of attractiveness every single shift she worked and could catch just about any guy she desired. It gives one an aura of invincibility.
Having that type of "power" puts a person into a bubble. They have immense amounts of confidence and get breaks normal people don't get. Her physical attractiveness has gotten her prime service at hotels and restaurants, extra favors by service people, probably got out of tickets on the highway and turning in late assignments in school. If she wasn't in that bubble, she'd never have the confidence to primary a sitting congressman and have a bunch of thirsty young male volunteers knock on doors for her to win that primary. Her power base and echo chamber is socialists, thirsty dumb guys who want to bed her, and unattractive women who wish they were her. In Brooklyn, that's a good coalition but it doesn't wear well in flyover country.
That kind of power comes with a trade off though. All of her formative years were spent on easy street and she's smart enough to know that her looks got her a lot of attention. She's unfortunately not smart enough to realize that all of those times she was spouting off nonsense to drunk guys in their twenties who were looking to get her into bed, that her ideas were nonsense. She is also no longer dealing primarily with drunk guys in their early twenties who are looking to get her in bed, so these put downs when someone calls her out on her bullshit (which were once accurate) just sounds like the rantings of a fool, which they are.
