      Honestly the “after” sounds like some sort of surrealist comedy skit like out of Portlandia or something.

      Damn, that makes it sound even less likely that it really happened. How was this a good idea?

        It wasn’t a good idea. She was over-coached to pieces. I’ve heard pundits on the right and left say it’s a shame what she did because by all rights she’s a smart and capable woman.

        Edit: I didn’t say I agreed with her politics. Downvote if you want, but this kind of marginalization of a smart woman on either side of the conversation erodes the condition of all women.

          I don’t know anything about her besides that one speech, and it’s not a good look

          She knows exactly what she’s doing. She’s willingly placed herself in a position to kiss old obscenely rich white men’s asses to make herself rich. And also, to have power over those less fortunate and more moral than her. Anyone under the age of 60 who joins the Republican party is a bad person. Period.
