“She’s super qualified, but I don’t think she’s solidly in the Conservative camp. I never have felt she was.”
“It’s just a visceral feeling I have in my gut that minority candidates (any minority) have to strive twice as hard and demonstrate twice as commitment, if they want to pass for Conservatives.”
What ARE her qualifications? I think you’re putting the cart before the horse. The first choice is conservative! Everything else is an accessory (like a pair of gloves). If he picks her it will be viewed as shameless pandering.
For sure, she has broad foreign policy experience.
Other world leaders know her and have worked with her.
She would be very qualified in that regard. Also, there is NO question about HER citizenship, education, personal associations...etc. :)
