No, I am afraid that her "Joe Sixpack" (her words, not mine) brand of identity politics will doom our party to permanent regional status.
I want someone to lead our party who has a strong grasp of economics and free-market principles, and who can articulate market-based solutions that can appeal to the middle.
I have no problem with her being pro-life or pro-gun, as I share both these viewpoints.
I am very concerned that a large portion of our base is jumping on her bandwagon just because she's pro-life and pro-gun, and because they think she's a "one of them."
It takes a lot more than that to win a national election.
She is a whole lot more intelligent than you give her credit for being, and the lofty elite who do not realize there are far more of the “Joe Sixpack” than of the intelligentsia class.
