Amazing. All these people I used to respect like Bork, Krauthammer, etc., all going off the deep end. A "disaster"? That's just loony. What it smells like to me is that these people can't imagine anyone, especially a Texas woman, being nearly as smart as they are. You know? It *is* elitism!
It's not a matter of smarts. I don't think anyone is questioning that her intelligence is formidable. I don't see the opposition in this case being virulent or degrading, as it is when Democrats are the opposition. There is real substance to the questions that are being asked about her - these are not "Schumer questions" - and that is why you are seeing a wide range of respectable people raising objections.
