3. I've read that she'd have a hard time winning anything substantive

In court since he retweeted someone else's content. This writer (sorry I don't remember who) predicted she'd leave it alone, especially after what happened recently in Vienna.

I'm sure some would understand her staying out of politics for her safety or for the safety of her fans. But, if she says nothing and Trump wins, will that follow her? Of course, it will. And it should.

Lots of people are risking everything to defeat trump. I don't know where they get the courage but they show incredible courage openly standing up to a man who has said what he plans to do to those who oppose him. He's openly threatened prison or worse. Yet, people are standing up to him.

If you have influence, and you stay quiet, your silence won't be forgotten, right? Will anyone really see her the same? I think if we're being honest, we'd have to at least acknowledge that it won't go unnoticed. Some will forgive it and some won't.

I often think of the Bush family and am disgusted that Jeb and George are silent while a convicted felon is this close to gaining all the levers of power. They're not unaware. They're just cowards. Just like the Republican senators that voted against conviction after the Democrats had to add security to protect themselves and their families. And Speaker Pelosi' husband was attacked in their home. Republicans are cowards.

How is her silence not cowardly?

I hope she speaks out and joins the fight. Her sphere of influence is unmatched.

What's the saying? With great power comes great responsibility ( or something like that)
