She has always been a conservative. The only reason she ever associated with Republicans is that she had no other choice and being always the optimist, she hoped that the Republicans would get their collective act together.
Now that that doesn’t seem to be happening, she is speaking out, and has been for years.
yes, i sense that too in this sharper criticism of the House GOP leadership. i sure hope she’s going to cut the cord soon. she could be a leader in a new independent conservative party, and we independent conservatives need someone to coalesce around.
