OK, stipulated. I still think as a national candidate she'd be at a fundraising disadvantage, and $7.4 MM is chump change compared to what has been spent in recent US Prez elections: https://www.statista.com/statistics/...ng-since-1979/

I agree that she has no chance in today's proto-fascist GOP. It prefers unhinged lunatics like MTG, Boebert, Kari Lake, Stefanik and Blackburn who are willing to go on stage and debase themselves with lies, fealty to the party crime boss, and unwavering adherence to the Big Lie.

Does not bode well from someone looking for meaningful discourse. What is your "excuse" for Defund "FBI" or for "Shooters Grill" with wait staff sporting side arms?

Not if you prefer alternate facts.

It used to be that men going after women in a debate didn't play well on TV: I'm thinking Rick Lazio for example. I think a lot has changed in our society between 2000 and today.
He would love to be able to go after Cheney the way he went after Hillary in their first debate. Anyone hosting such a debate would take steps to curtail this. Also I think Cheney would be ready for Donny as predictable as he is. Also I think she would not be as concerned as Hillary with being polite.

Which simply proves that there are a whole lot of incredibly ignorant, gullible fools who are allowed to vote. Shameful.

Which will leave her freed up to campaign for the WH and losing to a tRumper can be seen as a plus to the non-cult crowd.

I was going to say "gullible magamegamorons", you are a tad more charitable.
