I'm not claiming that her opponent ran a great campaign. The pundits believe Jack Ciatirelli's campaign was lackluster at best. So I'm not saying she deserved to lose as a political matter; she did what she needed to do to win.
The Democrat base is now so pro-criminal that it probably actually helped Sherill to take a blatantly unethical position on her violation of the Naval Academy honor code. "Snitches get stitches." Don't narc on your friends.
Also extremely stupid on her part (but it worked with her ProGlib base) was to act offended that her Naval Academy record was put into play--except for the fact that her ENTIRE career as a politician relies heavily on her military service record. She has pictures of herself in a flight suit and military helicopters in her campaign literature and on her website. If you're going to run on your military record, fair enough--but then the entire record is in play, not just the parts you want to highlight.
But she seems to be a clueless bonehead. Like Kamala, she was asked questions in interviews about what her policies were and was unable to articulately respond unless the interaction was totally scripted.
Spanberger who won in Virginia had the same sorts of issues. Although she too won her race for governor, she performed terribly in unscripted situations.
Like I said, when she was first elected to her Congressional district, I went to one of her town halls and was reasonably impressed with her performance. She seemed like a reasonable moderate Democrat.
But that was in 2018 which was a lifetime ago. Like the rest of her party, Sherill has had to take a radical left-hand turn to keep up with her radicalized ProGlib constituency.
It's really unfortunate and is just another example of the utter lack of leadership in the Democrat party.
When no one is willing to take a principled position and lead, the radicals take over because they are true believers and the "leaders" are just followers.
