I don’t understand why dems still listen to her. I understand why the old guard does and I understand why new people would pretend to do so (she’s got a lot over on a bunch of people and new people might see her as a step up the ladder) but why do people outside her local machine still take her seriously? The lady has terrible political instincts and she’s pretty much always had terrible instincts. Why would you want to do what she says (of your own volition)?
