Noem is an example of my point.

Republicans in South Dakota selected for a candidate that would be as cruel and as ignorant as they could find. They went for someone like Noem instead of the type of conservative that people are still willing to invite to Thanksgiving dinner. That made it more likely that their governor was the type of person to brag about killing a pet dog. Her issues are the direct result of what the republican primary electorate filters for, just like Robinson.

It's SD so she's unlikely to truly suffer at the ballot box if she runs for office again, but it did kill her national ambitions.
