Okay, I'll listen to the first 5 minutes and see if her "speaking from the heart" includes disavowing her various leftist political positions....
@DCPatriot . I actually listened to the first 15 minutes just to give her a shot. And to be honest, I see why you like her.
Not that she's actually a conservative or anything. Not even close. In those 15 minutes, she explained that she became a Democrat because she sided with the poor over the rich (classic class warfarism). She first entered Congress when Obama was President, and expressed no disagreement at all with any of Obama's economic policies. Not Obamacare, not the global warming stuff, none of it.
What she did express were the reasons why she was leaving the party, and that's where I can see how she lines up 100% with MAGA. So she gave three reasons:
1) she opposed Obama's intervention/bombing campaign in Syria, and that was her
only expressed problem with Obama's.policies. She's basically a neo-isolationist, so that fits right in with MAGA's "America First" policy.
2) she doesn't like how the Justice Department has been weaponized against Trump. Obviously, that isn't a substantive policy position, but it's obviously something Trump would like.
3). She belies in championing "the people" against "the elites", so her class warfare mentality fits right in with MAGA populism.
So in sum, she's a neo-isolationist populist who believes in wealth redistribution from the elites to "the people", and opposes the prosecutions against Trump. Not a conservative, but basically MAGA.
You might be on to something with her being Trump's VP pick.
