Box of rocks alluded to her status as a protest candidate aimed at taking down the establishment (metaphorical rock throwing) as well as the dopey things she says. When she is asked follow up questions on issues she appears passionate about she all but crumbles and becomes incoherent.

Her comments on Israel stand out where she was saying the correct liberal thing but reveals she doesn’t really have much of a clue when asked follow up questions. Her comments on the low unemployment rate where she said there’s low unemployment because people are working too many jobs. There’s her inability to express how the policies she favors would have funding. She has a degree in economics and international relations but based on those particular segments I saw, I wouldn’t have known it.

In a friendly interview with a friendly audience, I wager she does just fine. The ability to speak is plenty in politics.

So were you calling her dumb or not?

The phrase is usually “dumb as a box of rocks” and certainly doesn’t mean someone is a rock thrower. You seem to be claiming you were saying the latter rather than the former, but then you follow up with points that make you sound like you were saying the former.
