2. This is rich. The dumbest politician alive blames others for her problems.

She's uninformed. She's a liar. She's corrupt.

3. it's precisely the opposite

All these "people close to the campaign" folks are speaking out because they want to put her out there on her own.

She's a pawn. She's naive. She's been way out of her league.

She's being setup as the scapegoat.
