A few things to be garnered from this tape. If they are willing to try to buy her off, then they are afraid of what she stands for. If they are willing to try to buy her off, then they think she has an excellent shot at winning.
They seem to be scared of something, and scared people do irrational things - like assassinations.
She would have won the governorship had the current governor not pulled shenanigans and had the vote miscounted and skewed to benefit herself. What kind of bonehead allows a candidate for office to have control over the vote count? That's like hiring a fox to guard a chicken house. It's how they run elections in Russia - doesn't anyone recall when Stalin said "I don't care who votes, as long as I am the one who counts the votes?"
It was a bit chilling when she brought up the potential for assassination that whomever she was talking to pulled the statistic that "that cartels are operating in all 50 states now" out of the thin blue air in his ass. It had nothing to do with the conversation UNLESS you consider it to be a not so thinly veiled threat.
It may be that they are afraid to steal another election through fraudulent voting, because so many folks will be watching for it, so they plan to fall back to Plan B, and keep whomever they consider the "wrong" folks from running for office at all...
... by any means necessary.
Lawfare, bribery, assassination... it appears to be anything goes on the table now. The other guy on Twitter was right - this won't be an election, it's shaping up to be a Shadow War.
Stay out of the shadows, unless you or your bodyguards are really good with knives. Luckily, I'm really good with knives.
