re: #42 Sharmuta

She’s killing her chances of winning the nomination should she try to run, imo. Reasonable fiscal/security republicans, who might have considered her, will be turned off by this hysteria.

Good point. Reasonable, moderate Republicans weren’t turned off by her in 2008 though. Though arguably she hadn’t committed as many blunders than as she has now (the ones post-election have been all her own doing).

However, what are the demographics like during the primaries? I would think the rabid base would come out to vote. It’s my understanding that the base is fired up by this kind of rhetoric. I hope they turn out to vote for her so the GOP will finally realize it has a real problem on its hands.
