Here’s another example of her lack of hardcore political experience. She never had to use the phrase that others had been using in her defense since the shooting. Let them take the flack. She should’ve risen above the fray. Instead she incorported a term fraught with meaning, both historical and religious, for Jews, and applied it to herself, a Christian.

That’s a tin ear. That’s lack of judgement. And that’s just another reason why this lady is nowhere near being ready — or capable — of leading this nation.

I’m sorry, but your judgment of her is based on a basic misunderstanding of the term “blood libel”, which is NOT specifically reserved to the Jews. Others who used the term suffered no backlash, but she does, and therefore it is her fault?

I’m not sure there is any way for her to win, under the rules as you portray them.

To the contrary: the usage was inspired! It perfectly captures the character of her critics!

It's hard to believe how she can hit it out of the park so consistently

I am Jewish and I found her usage appropriate. Your "concern" is most interesting.
