The move would extend her 36-year House career and continue to freeze her would-be California successors in a long-standing holding pattern.

    She has too much name recognition and not enough unfavorables for this approach to work. She shouldn’t run and if she wins she’ll be a lucky to be as coherent as McConnell by the end, but I don’t think a primary challenge will work against her. Hope I’m wrong.

      I don’t think a lot of that name recognition is positive… As we’ve seen in the last few election cycles being a well known establishment candidate isn’t necessaroly a positive for a large block of voters.

        In another platform I am getting absolutely dogpiled by the biggest bunch of acreaming children refusing to believe that she is either old, establishment, elitist, conservative, or just plain old corrupt. Even with proof provided. They’re Blue Trumpers

      Then she should be elected.
