I was a supporter of hers until she announced that she wasn’t running for president. She milked it until the end.

BS. If you supported her, it means you wanted someone like her to be president. If you wanted her to be president, you must have believed in her capacity to make good decisions. Yet now, when she makes a decision you don't like, you throw her so far under the bus you accuse her of being this fundamentally evil person, just in it to milk supporters, despite strong evidence to the contrary. Rather a sudden and dramatic transformation from the person whose decisions you say you trusted well enough to be President.

So really you never did support her. What you supported was an idea in your own head you held about her, but you didn't support her, as herself. You may have even given time and money to that idea in your head, but it wasn't really for her. Projections are always so disappointing, aren't they. But you can't elect a projection to office. You have to elect real people. Sarah was never dishonest with us. She made her choice. It's not fair to respond to your personal disappointment by sliding into bitterness and slandering her with falsehoods about her motivation, and it doesn't help the conservative movement either.
