6. And so unnecessary.

I think Allam had a good chance at winning this primary if she'd run a clean, positive campaign. Voters are in the mood for change.

Instead, so much damage has been caused, and it's so counterproductive to the goal of winning the seat for Allam, I wonder if it was deliberate sabotage.
