60. If their backed candidate would have won the Democratic primary, it would have been a laughing stock.

She was literally funded by the GOP because she was so crazy. She was predicted to win and won a bunch of endorsements. But once her craziness was exposed, she said even crazier stuff like wanting to castrate her opponent. She did have a lot of support and alot of Democrats are mad at the DNC for getting involved.

She had the most votes in the primary. And polls showed her ahead in the runoff. My friend was going to vote her and hosted events for her. However, the GOP support for her was exposed and her craziness did her in.

ETA: She was also endorsed by Latina groups including Joaquin Castro's mother (Rosie Castro) and other influential women. She had everyone fooled.
