11. she is trying to be an Eisenhower republican

(Check out Ike's policies - they are practically the same as the Dems today) and giving the repubs who are marginalized by the Trump nuts a focal point to regroup and hopefully drive the crazies out of the party. For sure, the old line Repubs are horrified by Trump and they want to save their party from going down in history as the party that destroyed America.

I think she can do it - she is smart enough to not make a move like this unless she knows she has backing. Her statement is perfect - it is real patriotism - country over party. While we have been saying this for years, for a Repub to say it has much more impact and it will pull out the Repubs who have been in hiding.

The best part is now the Trump nuts can't make this a Dem vs GOP thing anymore. And now we Dems can continue to say in concert with her that the present GOP is putting greed and power over country.
