I'm not seeing how her remark hurts the Democratic franchise, and it sure does throw a hot potatoe into the GOPe lap.
In the long run, it does, because there'll be a strong GOP or a new 3rd party that will take the GOPe's place.
Divide and conquer. She is just doing the job democrats do and everyone gives her pleasure by falling for it.
It is kinda like this. “Hillary, since when do you praise the GOP for anything”. A nice split up party in 2016 is what the democrats ordered.
She should be told that she sucks even worse than the GOPe, so mind your own bidness.
