Doesn't surprise me. She has absolutely no juice is politically toxic and was looking for a way out. Her and Bill are why Dems weren't hammering Trump on Epstein much earlier.
Tents don't get bigger people just decide which area they want it to cover. Chasing "reasonable Republicans" (there's no such thing) will come at a cost. I don't know that pursuing those votes are worth the votes you lose. It seems like the Dem establishment is ready to take that gamble.
Depends what time of year and what part of the day it was. There's a lot of nice hiking in Sacramento.
I've definitely sent that exact same text and not called back. A real California scumbag move.
