Democratic primary
candidate for governor
Sara Rodriguez
today dropped out.
So this has been almost
like a slow motion train wreck.
Exactly what happened?
Well it's been
a back and forth all week.
Last week, we were talking about
all the momentum she had.
The candidates that had
dropped out were endorsing her.
I was in touch with the campaign
to see where she'd be out
in the field this week.
We were going to touch base with
all the Democratic candidates.
They got back to me
and said, 'Well, we're still
figuring out that schedule.'
Well, by Sunday they had
fired her campaign manager.
By Monday, she has
a press conference
saying, 'I'm in the race, but
fundraising is a little weaker.'
We talked to the
other candidates, they're like
'What a mess.
Your whole authority says
you can run things
and you don't have any oversight
of your own campaign.'
Her campaign finance sheets
come and show she's
broke and deeply in debt.
Then she makes
another press conference to say
that she's got all this money
and then quickly says, 'Nope
sorry, that was an error as well
And now she's out.
So it's been back and forth
people really trying to
figure out where is the truth.
When she says
it was a distraction
she's 100% correct.
That may be the most
honest thing that's been said
about the campaign all week
is this was dominating
all of the headlines
and would have if she
would have stayed in this race.
