ONE candidate causes MASSIVE disruption

[Hortensis]

72. Remember when she was on the DNC and got so

involved in infighting that she ended up having to leave and chose to take her squabbling public, using strife to grab the national media spotlight during the Democratic primary. Remember her using the national spotlight to badmouth Democrats in the middle of the Democratic battle against the Republicans? Spinning it as being far too high-minded to be acceptable to the lowlifes in the DNC?

That got her a whole lot of support among those who admired Sanders' own strife with the DNC, but with the giant threat on the right, the Republicans, kleptocratic billionaires, and Russia, all benefiting, that alone took her off my list permanently. The kind of honorable "one good man" I'm looking for would NEVER, ever, ever do anything like that. Never.

Of course after, needing a new home, she of course then offered herself to Sanders himself, but he was far too smart to let someone who'd left the DNC in that style into his inner circle. He had some pictures taken with her, etcetera, and that upped her popularity more with his supporters.

And so on, Adelson, etcetera, looking for a power bloc to make her a big offer. Didn't happen. And now in this strange era she's...running for president. A sign of the times.

You admire her. I do not. We'll see who's right.

But I see someone who's very undependable and unpredictable ideologically, or whatever's directing her erratic course. In spite of her conservatism and other possibly acceptable behaviors, I don't think she'd do better among the Republicans simply because they're not as open to diversity of any type, including "individualism," as we are. She is one of a kind.

As for tough as nails? Maybe. But I really suspect that what I see as dysfunctional behaviors are outweighing her talents, so that she is self destructing slowly. It's pretty common, actually.
A lot of people's biggest talent is self aggrandizement, but once they get there... In any case, if I turn out to be right, she'll basically become a voter discard as far as national, and perhaps even Hawaiian, politics go. (She already has someone with strong support running against her for her seat.) And then maybe she'll go on to be tough ex-military at something else. Perhaps lobbying for some defense contractor who's donated to her in the past?
