You might be engaged in wishful thinking...
I think TDS will keep it close.

I'd agree if anyone but Sandaz was the nominee.
Run the crazy commie? I think that will result in their being totally fucking destroyed.

Most cowardly vote in Impeachment history.
But her balls are humongous in comparison to the tiny nut sack on cadet bone spurs

On the 1 hand I agree, she voted against the nonsense of her party by refusing to be a part of it.
On the other hand, she's not there to vote her conscience. She's there to STAND UP and display courage of character for her constituents. By voting "present" she showed she lacks that courage. It was basically a yes or no vote and she ran away and hid.
She had the ability to do it, but you don't lead from the sidelines. By that single vote she showed she is not a leader.

She explained why she did. When offered yay or nay have you stopped beating your wife she answered present which was the only answer available to her. She understood that the Democrats case was not impeachable, but she also could not vote in a way Trump would construe as condoning his actions, which she disagreed with.
I would have preferred that she agree with me that there wad no "there" there in the Dems case, but she does not agree with me.
It isn't like she was unwware her vote would garner her no fans.
Contrast that with Romney, who knew that he would get the accolades that he did for his vote.
She sought praise from neither side.

In that case what she should have done was not BE "present" during the vote.
"I do not support what my party is doing but I don't support what the President has done. Therefore I choose to not be a part of it at all."
This would have been seen as a desertion of her congressional duties and obligations but she might have been able to take that hit and survive.
Instead she chickened out and showed that she has insufficient backbone to actually take a stand. As a Congresswoman AND an American military officer, she is REQUIRED to stand up even when she knows it's going to hurt because sometimes your choices are only between bad ones and worse ones.

Her "stand" was to hide behind procedures that allowed her to avoid taking a stand.
She's a military officer who doesn't understand that sometimes you have to fight the fights you know you're going to lose.
That is not courage. Nor a sign of a leader. The American people know this even if they can't articulate it. Which is why she immediately tanked in her campaign.
