I really lost a lot of respect for her. She attacked everybody and often in a very disrespectful, sarcastic and cynical way... and is getting nastier as it goes on, as if she is bitter that she can’t keep her base.
Why did she lose her base? I think I know why. She has no real ideas of her own, and she spent a lot of time ridiculing ideas that Conservatives were interested in. Her attacks on Cain’s 999 plan were out of line imho, and they made me suspect that her career as a “tax attorney” has blinded her to ideas that would appeal to the TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY party. I’m not saying that TEA Party loved Cain’s 999 totally and unconditionally, but they got him in part to the 25% at one point before the scandals. TEA Party liked the out of the box thinking, and she poured cold water scorn on it, calling it Satanic in so many words! Rude, and meanspirited.
She has the social issues but not the economic or political issues. Social issues matter but rank 3rd in a time when we have 21% real unemployment, 1% GDP growth, we’ve doubled the national debt in 3 years and if we lose this election we will have imposed upon us the greatest and possibly most detrimental social experiment the country has faced since Social Security — which we all know has to fail at some point due to economodemographics.
And so early in the race she had the TEA Party behind her, but they drifted to other candidates who addressed the more pressing issues. And she got bitter because of it. I don’t think she is Presidential material and I don’t want her in One Observatory Circle (the VP mansion) either. Keep her in congress where she can push the issues that are important, but let the mature men and women run the party and politics.
I agree 100% with what you posted. Her attacks on Cain, who at least had the guts to come up with a revolutionary and viable plan, the “999” plan, made me grimace. But Michele’s biggest prblem is her Fran Drescher laugh - - Americans do not want to hear that laugh for four (or eight!) years.
And the MSM love her for her attacks
She is pathetic
