“All good and well. He seems like a good man. I think even DeMint is smart enough to realize that he is not infallible. If not, I am sure someone will rush to remind him as soon as he missteps.”
We shall watch - so far no sign of that. I don’t remember Reagan screwing up that bad either (but maybe he did). If DeMint misses something that basic, I will TOTALLY be on his case too. I want people in power from our party that understand that good and bad are not debate sides, but rather are embedded in their brains.
From reading the transcript, I thought she flubbed it up, particulary after she says, “Yes, and we’re also bound by prudence to stand with our South Korean allies, yes”. It makes her sound like she is stammering to correct herself. The audio sounds less so.
Also, in the same breath just prior to mistating that the North Koreans are our allies, it is evident that she meant South Korean allies when she mentions sanctioning actions taken by North Korea- “we’re not having a lot of faith that the White House is going to come out with a strong enough policy to sanction what it is that North Korea is going to do...”.
She isn’t doing herself any favors, but this doesn’t sound as bad as it reads.
