Not sure about the "She will do as Ted dictates" option... Didn't see her as a Ted bot at all... She was sorta between Ted and Trump in positions if I remember correctly. Nothing really impressed me other than she could debate fairly well and held her own, but Cartly didn't seem to elaborate a more solid conservative position as I wished. But then again, I didn't do a group study on her because I was more invested in a few others more right of her.
If someone has a position chart on her, I would be willing to look it over. Link it (and thanks). I seem to remember that she slid more conservative the closer it came to election time (something Trump did also).
