I’m not sure why she’s opted for the vaseline-on-the-lens strategy but it’s quite striking. She’s clearly a media professional and that really helps when you are selling lies as she is. Bash does a pretty good job of nailing her down but her robotic confidence will likely get her over. She’s an extremist with a lot of poise and a glibness that makes her dangerous. If she makes it to the governorship there’s no doubt in my mind that she’ll be Trump’s pick for VP.
