Like Christy, I prefer “Problem Solver” over “Troublemaker”. However, when attempting change, both come to play. Whenever attempting to change the “status quo”, those that have established that “quo” always choose divisive tactics to discredit the opposition rather than choose to debate issues that are “core”. Christy has solutions, opposition would much rather discredit her than allow her to debate her opponent. What you presented in your interview clearly displays the divisive (tending to cause disagreement or hostility between people) activity that Christy encountered throughout her career as well as her run for office. If you are looking for a “clean fight”, you’ll never find in politics!
I met Christy a few times, heard her speak and spoke with her briefly. Upon reading your article, my respect for her has increased. Thank you.
