The SHREW's record as SecState was poison. Her record as Senator was minimal. A message of, "Four more years of the same," was unpalatable. "
I am not the Evil Trump-Monster," was pretty much all that was left, and that invited a comparison in which she was the loser.
I've said for years - elsewhere - that, "I am not ______," is a losing message and strategy for the Rs, and that instead R candidates need to present and focus on who they
are and what they will
do.
The SHREW demonstrated that point.
