Active in the community? She was a PTA president. Big whoop! There's a lot of those around.

If the debt is too much we could act like any business and bankrupt out of it. Did you want to do that?

My point exactly!

She may be a good person, a good neighbor. I like to think I have those qualities. But that is not enough to qualify me to be president.

the left has personally attacked these people because they can not discuss the issues the bring. the hate is for them . they will not ever just go away because they tell the truth while people call them liars with no proof
Or there is plenty of proof, they provide it themselves by saying things that are either untrue (lie) or half-truths (propaganda). There are plenty of examples and people have pointed them out many times, thing is one can lead a jackass to water but they cannot make it drink

Who's making personal insults? Re-read that post, it was said in generalities. Sorry if you took it personally.

She would always have had a built-in fan base - and personally I think she has already started to alienate/erode that fan base.

Liberals aren't "scared" of her - but the Republicans should be.
