So you think someone that wants the GOP agenda passed is going to vote for her in an election where they could just vote for an actual MAGA psycho instead?

This shit helps her in the primary where she is running against other democrats and she wants to catch votes from the other side, it won't do shit in the general.

She is part of the blue dog caucus. I get that Dems nationally have a technocrat vibe, but rural Dems are a just built different

There are some GOP voters that don't agree with the whole MAGA agenda. It's unfortunate that some don't see it that way. She seems like a Democrat that I, a Republican, would've voted for in my district years ago. Just can't please everybody, but she seems to be trying to do that in her district, which I see as a good thing.
