Me run for office?

Sorry I subscribe to the Groucho Marx philosophy when it comes to that...

I don’t want to be a member of a club willing to have me as a member.

She corrected her ERROR, but she revealed her true self... She isn’t a fighter, she is a coward. She is the one who made a point of making women’s rights as her signature issue, no one else, and the first time came when her resolve was tested, she folded like a cheap suit.

I don’t wish her ill will, but when you claim “THIS IS WHO I AM AND WHAT I STAND FOR” and then very publicly fold on that supposed principle, then you are either lying about your principles, or your principles aren’t things you consider worth fighting for.

IF you do that once, you will do it again... no one forced her to make that cause “her” issue, she did... no one forced her to cave, she did... in fact she was in a unique situation to stand up with little chance of political harm to her.. and she still caved. She either doesn’t have the principles she claims she has, or she is willing to sell them out when push comes to shove.

She inflicted this on herself, and I do wish her all the best in life, but higher office? Don’t come looking to me for support.

Yeah, Groucho and I go back a long ways, too. I've actually been asked in days past, but my answer to "when will you run for office?" was always "when they bring back dueling".

Back to Noem, perhaps she just made a mistake? It happens.

Perhaps the axiom, "Don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity" applies here.
