Personally, I think she should have changed her plans to give them a pat on the back.
Hi hope all is well with you and yours.
I agree an hour or so mixing would not have hurt her in the least bit since she was aready down this way and it could have helped her with the party leaders. After all it was only a couple hundred miles from DC.
Take care.....
The Republican retreat was at the Homestead-—4 to 5 hours to DC. That’s as far a drive as New York City is from DC up Interstate 95. Considering she was only in DC from Friday night until 6:30 Sunday morning (so as not to minimize loss of time in Juneau during the legislative session), and Saturday was completely booked up with meetings with her DC staff, the CSIS lunch, and the Alfalfa dinner, where would she have found the 12 or so hours to get to the Homestead?
