Why would GOP be afraid of her?
That's the question I don't get. I mean, each party has its extremists.
It is actually dangerous to give them too much attention. That's how we ended up
with Mr. Corruption in charge, after all.
I am asking Odeon as he is the one suggesting that the GOP is afraid of her.
And I'm asking YOU why the R's are making such a big deal of her. If she were just a Sessions or King,
they'd do what they did with other extreme leftists - make a smirking comment and move on.
Is it that, post-trump, the party realizes that a charismatic person who should have no chance can rise to
leadership?
I am sorry, but the established GOP wants her front row center as a way to garner votes for their own platform.
If they can find a way to make her and a few other extreme socialists appear as the soul of the Democratic Party, they might just expect a gain in their base from these performances.
I do not think the average American is ready to ground all the airline planes in order to build a number of super train bridges across the Atlantic.
I know she is young and has her eyes all full of stars and has been elevated to see the stars even better now, but, expecting us to just print dollars to pay for things? You have to see through this. Stars in her eyes are blinding her to the reality of international politics.
She IS pretty, though.
It is the movement to the extreme left that they are afraid of. At this point, I doubt that many take her seriously.
Since this is the response (although DD had to elucidate it for you), I don't buy it.
The other people the right has regularly held up as this kind of poster child
have always been those that they really had a reason to fear: Pelosi, Mrs. Clinton,
Obama, Bernie when he looked possible....
They left Barbara Lee and the rest of the fringe alone, just as the Dems largely left
the wackier looney tunes of the right alone. Oh sure, there'd be an occasional mocking
piece - but naught more.
I really think they're afraid. That they see which way the country is headed, and
have to try and undermine that.
It's been a long time since there was a real left.
