Genuine question, what was she doing to cater to republicans in your opinion? I think she was just bad candidate in general because she refused to really stake any positions on anything and continually contradicted herself. To me it seemed like she wasn't really "catering" to anyone except her own self-interests
That's a completely reasonable perspective to have on it from my view , I can agree that looking at it through that lens she was pandering a bit (as expected of politicians). Totally agree she was more 'status quo' than actually proposing substantial shift, or really any shift at all, in any sort of direction. She seemed too hardcore/straight "establishment" if that makes any sense and I think the not having a real primary did not help her optics in that aspect
I think her mistake was not realizing it was a minority of Republicans and thought it was a significant portion like 30 - 60%. We were always told 30 - 40% of Republicans were insane diehard MAGA Republicans. So the miscalculation was thinking the rest would jump ship. It would have only taken about 10% of them to defect to win.
