    She’ll peel voters away from Trump, so I’m all for her running as a spoiler, obnoxious as she is. Assuming she peels votes from Trump, she said she won’t do it if it helps Trump.

      Will she though? Who is going to vote for Trump that would be willing to vote for the woman who condemned Trump instead?

        Country Club Republicans and Chamber of Commerce conservatives, as they’re commonly referred to. They make up a significant, but powerless, portion of the GOP base and are essential to winning any election that’s less than R+30.

        Probably people like my parents, who aren’t down with the far right but still don’t want to vote democrat. Makes no sense to me but there’s definitely a segment out there. If they know there is a less extreme GOP option they’ll vote that way 10 times out of 10.

          It makes sense if you have money and just want it to be taxed as little as possible. That’s not an excuse - just explaining the mentality.

            Selflessness vs selfishness. Tale as old as time.

        the same kind of person that voted for Obama twice and then Trump twice. I am sure they exist.

      She wouldn’t make a dent in the primary and wouldn’t even appear in the general. She’s helping some reporter make their article quota, that’s about it.
