I'm not doubting that. The GOP leadership did not endorse a candidate in the primary (which, I believe, is a good policy). They did not annoint a candidate, preferring to let the primary voters decide.
So she took her case to the primary voters. The objection to her candidacy that many of us had was that she could not win. Her response was, in no small part, to commit her own money to the effort. She pledged to give $10 million of her own fortune to her campaign. That was the sign that she was serious.
She hasn't kept her word so far, and if this is the best she can do she won't keep her word at all. She might have won the primary, but she won it with empty promises.
So how exactly is it the fault of the Florida State GOP that Harris broke her promise?

Jeb and the GOP at the state and national levels said to her: Look, you can't win. We have the data. You have 100% name recognition and people have already decided what they think of you. Democrats hate you. Independants don't like you. Republicans are not crazy about you.
But Harris said: I can win if want to! Nobody ever tells me no! I am great! I am the center of the universe.
So she runs against nobody and manages get an astounding 49% of the primary vote.
And I will tell you something else. The party is plenty mad. She is done in politics.
And if you think she deserves respect, send her money. Seven people already have.
