30. What's she doing in NV. In Ca I've never seen her south or east of LA.

I lost a lot of respect for Boxer when she wouldn't even come to San Diego during the catastrophic fires a few years ago.

More recently when she & Rand Paul proposed a bill to "repatriate" the trillions in offshore corp profits at 6.5% (vs 35% the legal rate) . I think it holds the record for lowest proposed tax percentage of all...with the exception of the antitax corporate bottomfeeders at zero, of course.

I might be mistaken but I believe Boxer's daughter married Hillary's brother. So it's both personal and political for Boxer and might explain why her overreaction here.
