What he wanted was a desantis. What he's going to settle for is a pence cut out (let that sink in). They need the evangelicals. There's no path to victory for them in any state without that Gay..gay...gay....marriage.

I don't think so. If you think that, then you don't understand honest and sincere conviction imo. She has been waking people up to the China Threat - as she did on that Video I posted, where most of the others listening to her were skeptical and raising various objections; which she answered with the analogy of Europe having become dependent on Russia, which then caused a problem for them, and saying America should not become dependent on China in the same reason, but rather bolster Trade with India, Japan, Australia and other Allies and Democratic Countries - "in season and out of season", as it were. This is clearly something she genuinely believes and I think she's correct on that. As to the other things, I cannot speak to that, as you Americans would know better about it than me. From my understanding, a significant base of the GOP is White People, and therefore - I wouldn't be an expert on that - as a matter of politics, she has to show deference to Trump etc and to some who might be White Nationalists, I don't know. But I've listened to some videos of her speak, as well as read some of the things she did, and don't think she's inconsistent or "flip-flopping" on policy issues.

Showing deference to Trump and white nationalists should be a non-starter. But it really doesn't matter who their next president is. What matters is who controls the US Congress. And - while it's a long road to the election yet - things are currently looking positively grim for the GOP.

Also, she will cave on to China the moment she gets her first paycheck from them. Note that will never happen as she will never be president.

Gosh, if Pearl Harbor was such a big threat maybe we should have applauded Japan for doing us a favor and bombing it.
