I didn’t hold her 2014 loss against her. I held it against all the commenters who talked her up tbh. Which, I can be rigid about races that look hopeless but I look too hard the numbers, which is how losing becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Actually, I’m rooting for her even more bc of that loss. She went for it when few wanted to. That is one of my top qualities for candidates - they’re not afraid to go big when going home is almost guaranteed. Means they’re running for all the right reasons.

Well said. If we’re serious about a 50-state strategy, it means NEVER leaving any race unchallenged – and that means having candidates who are willing to run and fight their darnedest against every hard odds.
