She is not "that dumb". That is typical Republican branding at work. It is the one Big Thing that they are really good at. I am not saying that she is ready for prime time. She is young and inexperienced. If she can survive this onslaught of publicity that is aimed both at wrecking her before she even starts and wrecking the Democratic Party, she could eventually be a formidable force. But it will take a great deal of personal strength and support from others to survive this.

I doubt she is actually that dumb. The funny thing is that the rightwing is actually that dumb on a number of topics, which that website would be astonished to think so.

>> She's that dumb. I don't know if "dumb" is the right word. Yes, it is a parody site, but what makes Internet parody so bad it is often believable. I have encountered many people on the Internet who suggest that the way we will deal with the national debt is to allow it to be "inflated away". Venezuela is, of course, a very extreme result of socialism, accompanied by the worst possible form of mismanagement. But it is helpful to use Venzuela as a model of what can happen. We are going to have a very strong drive over the next couple of big elections to move toward socialism. The Sanders voice is loud and clear and it is going to be really, really embarrassing if America turns out to be stupid to resist it.
