This is comical--"unusually evil"? As opposed to the usual commonplace evil that lurks in our politics? And she doesn't think she can "rebrand"? Isn't branding part of the usual evil? I guess she thinks she just won't be allowed to create a new and better facade. Did she not think that what she was doing at the time was unusually evil? Now that it's over she does a mea culpa and writes a book to make it all better? (But it's really about someone else's culpa.) And hope for a best seller? Many times on this forum Republicans or "Conservatives" have been called things like porn merchant or other forms of money grubbing if they wrote a book or had a successful radio show, etc. But when an Anti-Trumper writes a book . . . let's pay attention . . . it's really important . . . the nation is at stake!
Don't know everything that's in the book, but the articles about it and her interviews about it that I've seen don't point to any Russian collusions, or treasons, or impeachable offenses. If that is true, then maybe that's why she didn't seem to feel "unusually" evil during her tenure with Trump. Maybe just the usual, common evils of political lying and messy procedures and chaotic running of things and personal scandals and foibles that often, if not usually, accompany political campaigns.
And if she helps to scuttle a Trump attempt to get the Republican nomination, that's OK by me. I'm hoping he doesn't run. But if he gets the nod and runs, I'll vote for him over any Democrat because, as I've said over and over, for me it's not about him, but about defeating Progressivism--though that's looking more and more unlikely.
No doubt you'll be happy with the impending Brave New World of unimpeded government power. For sure, we won't have to be concerned about things like government spending our money that it doesn't have . . . money will be no object . . . government will always have our money . . . or may not even need money . . . just have the power to do, or make us do, whatever it deems necessary. We won't have to quibble about mandates or individual rights and freedoms. We will all dutifully do as government tells us to do, and be assured that it is all rightly so. And we won't have to be concerned about pandemics. Government will prevent them. Maybe just occasional outbursts of some disease or other which will be quickly quelled by good government control . . . of everything.
