They can't attack her on anything she says. Quite disgusting actually. That's what they do. They live you until you leave. They would literally hang people if they could.

None of them are butthurt. Sorry your side won't just accept it! She never embraced anything the Dems were trying to stand for so the Dems never took her seriously.

And now the rest of the story Why Are Democrats Voting in Republican Primaries? With Republican turnout far outpacing that of the Democrats so far in the 2022 primaries, different views are being offered as to why this is happening. Yahoo News, for example, is arguing that, at least in part, this is due to Democrats voting in Republican primaries to vote against Trump-backed Republicans in those primaries. Perhaps. In Georgia, for example, incumbent Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, was on the receiving end of the hostility of former President Donald Trump, due to what Trump and many of his supporters believe was a failure on the part of Raffensperger to oppose Democrats in that state from committing widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Trump supported an opponent in the Republican primary against Raffensperger, but Raffensperger won anyway, with 27,000 votes over the 50 percent of the vote needed to avoid a runoff. But over 37,000 Democrats voted in the Republican primary, in what is called “crossover” voting. In many states, like Georgia, citizens can cast their primary vote in either party’s primary. These are called “open” primaries. In “closed” primary states, one must be a registered voter in the party before voting in that party’s primary. Open primaries certainly can lead to mischief. This not just done by Democrats voting in Republican primaries, either. In 2008, conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh urged Republicans in open primary states to vote in Democratic Party primaries for Hillary Clinton, in what he called “Operation Chaos.” It was not that Limbaugh preferred Clinton over then-Senator Barack Obama, but with the Republican nomination mostly settled, he thought it would cause “chaos” in the Democratic ranks if Obama were denied seeking the nomination early. Regardless of the merits of Limbaugh’s effort, this sort of thing does happen. It is a particular problem in presidential contests in years when a party has an incumbent running for reelection. For example, in 2020, with Trump facing no serious opposition within the Republican Party for renomination, there is little doubt that some Republicans crossed over to vote for Senator Bernie Sanders, thinking the avowed socialist would be easier to beat in the general election. Democrats no doubt did the same thing in 2012 when Obama was running for reelection. Those who oppose such chicanery on principle will make reasonable arguments that only real Republicans should be voting in Republican primaries, and only real Democrats should be voting in Democratic primaries. After all, the argument goes, why should a Methodist be picking the deacons in the local Baptist church? Quote “There he goes. One of God's own prototypes.
