That or that she's not talented enough to get a national job.
You just proved that name recognition is all you need, which is a growing problem in politics.
How can reading a script year after year be a good preparation for being a mayor? What that tells me is that she has zero mgmt experience, and if she has an ability to analyze costs, understand the effects of real life decisions or influence people with new ideas is purely by luck, not because of experience.
The only first hand information I have of her, is that an old boyfriend of hers (or who knows, maybe husband) is one of the crudest, immature, disrespectful humans I've ever come across.
