*****Magical thinking. and, iirc, it was palin who crafted or implemented the "poorly considered, lopsided ethics complaint rule".*****
Besides, if you truly do not believe she would survive the primary, why do you care?
*****Because I fully understand that the world does not bend to a position simply because I believe in it.*****
Regardless of how ill-considered the AK ethics rules or how they came to be enacted, it does not change the fact that the federal office would not constrained by the same easily abused ethics rules. If asked those questions, they could be easily dismissed in some similar fashion: she would not find herself checkmated by those who would eagerly abuse the ethic complaint rules to the detriment of the office and the detriment of the state/nation’s business — thus, there would be no need for self-sacrifice in deference to the best interests of the state/nation.
Asking those questions would only serve to illustrate how ill-informed/biased the questioner is. You would need to be far more clever in the phrasing of the questions to attempt your attack on the candidate.
