      Repubs have spent decades feeding propaganda to their fear-addicted voting base. And they’re still squawking away with Fox and Sinclair. I’d love to see her run but I’m not certain it would be successful.

      Because entrenched Democrats are under a ridiculous belief that everyone who isn’t voting for them is conservative. So if you spout “extreme” leftist ideals, you’re too scary to the people they are courting, which is conservative voters who aren’t Trumplicans.
