@maporsche,
Quote:although I think a good part of this is her own making.
There's always a danger in standing and speaking. Sitting down and staying quiet is pretty much risk-free, in the short term anyway.
Add in the boldest of her contributions so far, along with the fact that what she is being bold regarding is exactly the sort of policies and values that the right has been trying to eviscerate from political discussion for half a century. Then add her talents. That the right wing media universe is trying to tear her down with incessant coverage is 100% predictable, as you know. And they'll keep at it. That's their job as propagandists.
She really is not doing the "Look at me! Look at me!" self-concerned personal ambition thing that marked Ted Cruz's arrival and first year in the Senate. And as she's only been around for a few months, her future recognition factor will change.
