I’m legitimately confused by the responses to this tweet. It wasn’t a negative thing. To the extent it was anything, I thought it might be seen as “too positive” b/c I thought it made clear I think she is sounding like someone making her mark on the national stage.

I didn’t say it was a negative thing. Why are you reading that into what I wrote??

Clearly I would rather not have spent the past two hours explaining things, so I will try to tweet more carefully and clearly in the future.
