Really? She didn't see the potential Trump offered 3 years ago or even 3 months ago. Three months ago the economy was rocking about like it is now, the crisis on the border has been brought more or less under some control, deadbeat NATO members are paying up, 194 Federal Judges have been appointed, trade deals with Mexico, Canada and China have been signed, a trade agreement with the UK is in the works, EU goons like Merkel have been put in their place, and the list goes on and on and on.
