You are right, a Senate job is not the place for a Reagan like leader, an executive type leader, but if she can’t find a path directly to the presidency, then I support whatever she does.
I think her legs got cut out from under her in the 2012 primary, and it showed me how delicate, and unpredictable weaving a path into the primary finals is.
Curiously, then-Gov. Reagan was expected to run against radical ultra-leftist freshman Sen. Alan Cranston at the end of his second term in 1974... but opted out of it because the Watergate fiasco tarred so many promising Republican candidates that year.
Was was under contract with Fox News the entire time, she was never seriously considering running.
