She is not a conservative.
Chris Matthews refers to her as his favorite conservative. Pretty much says everything you need to know about her. She's OK with the swamp letting her have her own little patch of it.
She is conservative like David Brooks is conservative. Neither of them are deranged like William Kristol or Jennifer Rubin (no I won’t say it), but time has passed their conservatism by.
In contrast, Kristol and Rubin were never conservative, not in the American political sense, but were simply users of conservatives simplicity, kindness, and good will. The emerging political movements, right AND left, will leave Kristol and Rubin homeless.
