If she’s a cynical fucking cunt, why would you want her to be popular? More to the point, why would you fault her for not campaigning to be popular? Wouldn’t you benefit from her unpopularity? It doesn’t make sense.

Prosecuting anti-Israel protestors, or whatever the story is there - that’s understandable. That’s a common story we’ve seen many times for a few years now.

Perfunctory attacks on Big Money seems like a good thing though. Why is that bad? You’re saying the attacks are for show and she has no intention to do anything but hold a press conference about it? If so, also understandable, but just needed a little more detail there.
