Here's another powerball. Harriet knows she is not going to be a consensus REPUBLICAN nominee, and things can only go downhill from here. Yes, she is on autopilot. She's been put up, and she will follow through. But Rep meritocracy is out the window, and the damage from this is significant. If Reps don't stand for meritocracy, then all is lost. And I mean this.
You seem to believe Harriet feels some responsibility to something other than the Constitution. The GOP Senators are not going to listen to the fringe but will all vote for her.
If your qualifications and accomplishments were comparable to Harriet's I might be inclined to care about your feelings in this. She is extremely accomplished by any objective standard. Vague understandings of a possible political philosophy not withstanding.
