    I think she probably thinks this will be interpreted as “sacrifice the lives of democrats to accomplish our goals”

      She’s told us what it means: she’s trying to paint herself as able to make the tough choices. Its right in the article.

        tough choices

        I’m speculating on what “tough choices” her constituents will hope she makes.

          It’s pretty standard politicalese. To assume it means she thinks it will be interpreted as murdering her political opponents, when it’s pretty clear she is trying to paint herself as some practical farmer making the hard logical choices one has to in that life, strikes me as ridiculously presumptuous.
