“Is her brain big enough?” Sounds like you’ve fallen for the Democrat-media blitz on her being a ditz. I suppose you haven’t noticed that she’s run circles around any other political players for the past 18 months?
She’s not perfect and she’s not going to be, but it also sounds like you’ve fallen for the “She’s not ready” meme. She’s got gobs of experience, incredible political instincts, and the right, principled core. And yes, I hate it when she talks around rather than answering a question—though that is what pols are wont to do. (And it sounds as if your idea of a straight-talking pol may be sadly unelectable.)
I think all the tabloid instincts in her daughter Bristol are unfortunate, I worry that she’s bought in on the ‘path to citizenship’ once the border is supposedly sealed, and I hope that she’s not inclined to use the military in an activist global way.
But there is nobody else close to her political talent about to step out or be drafted. My take is that as of now she’s the best hope for the Republicans. Better to back her but get her nailed down on immigration than to look about for another candidate to beat Obama—’cause she’s likely the only one who can.
She has already been nailed down on immigration. Many choose not to listen.
It is really hard to say “lets enforce existing law for a few years, shut down the border and deny freebies to illegal border invaders.” American people like that idea, party leaders do not.
A republican might not get the nod.
