On the issue of the institutionalized status quo not really liking her and her electability: A LOT of people said the same thing about Reagan when he was running - the GOP really didn’t like him, the Democrats certainly didn’t like him, but Americans LOVED him. Same with Sarah.

“but Americans LOVED him. Same with Sarah.”
The people that love her ARE Americans. Sadly, there is just not enough of them.
