I have heard several interviews. She acquits herself well and I think she'd have a good shot. I trust you've read what you claim, but I have not heard any criticisms that would render her a laughing stock. I've heard her be generally supportive of Trump's policies without cheerleading his personal qualities...which is just about right.Shes a brown girl that tried to make herself white. She is already a laughing stock outside her state for that and flip flopping on her stance on Trump throughout his four years. She has a big hill to climb.
Of course, anyone who even tries to be the next Republican candidate will instantly be attacked and ridiculed by the media. That's just a fact. Look at Romney. When he ran for President they made the wildest claims about the guy, now that he's anti-Trump, he's a saint. I was never a Romney fan, I'm just pointing out that the media will say what anything to support Democrats.
