“Can you give the reasoning behind your take that she is not a strong candidate?”

Sure. She came off to me as a bit shaky. Unsure of herself and lacking the self confidence and knowledge needed to express conservative ideals to the general population.

We all know that ANYONE that steps into the national spotlight, and claims to be a conservative, will be savaged by the press relentlessly. They must be able to overcome this in order to reach the numbers that we need.

Her candidacy felt rushed and poorly prepared to me. When questions were posed to her, I felt like she would often miss the central reasons for our stance on said issue.

Apparently you only watched her first few appearances, because anyone who honestly watched her as the campaign progressed would have come to the exact opposite conclusion.

So that “immaturity” being on the national stage, was a deal breaker for you.

The seemingly rushed nature of her being sprung on the national scene is somehow a product of her preparedness?
