18. What I think on this is simple.. It "could" reduce her stature among "some" of her base.

Not me, or you, that is not what I am discussing here. We know she is a stupid self centered jerk. (apologies to jerks of the world)
It is among those who follow her that I am talking about. Some, may just abandon her for some other right wing fool who does not take pictures of her son stepping on a dog..

There will always be idiots who look up to her, but I believe this could reduce their number considerably. She will still appear on Fox News...but...she may not get a contract renewed..if enough of those viewers complain...and yes, there are many, many dog lovers who watch Fox News..that do not feel good about these pictures.

It may...and I don't know for sure...but it may take her down a few levels..(no I didn't think that was even possible)
