Actually it is very easy to figure out where she went wrong. It was in this line.

And you know what in my country, in my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman.

If she didn't say "in my country" she would have been perfectly fine. Those three words made it sound like the entire US population was against same-sex marriage like her family.

So realistically it was her own poor choice of words that caused her downfall.

The majority of peole in the US are though...

I'm not.

The majority though.

 

It isnt really a matter of minority or majority though when it comes to her answer. It makes it sound like the state of Vermont just randomly allowed same-sex marriage without approval of the people. That sentence comes off as if she believes that there isn't a single person that is homosexual in the USA. She contradicted herself though which was another fault. That was still recoverable if she didn't screw up with that sentence.
