Again, I don't much care for her,

Who do you care for? Let's spend a little more time on people who actually matter.

I care about policy, not the person.

There is no such thing.

The person is the one who pursues, builds, and implements policy. A bad person will not be a good ally, no matter their professed policy beliefs, because it is only integrity that binds a politician to work for their constituents once elected.

Without a good person, you have no way to trust that good policy will follow.

Yeah?

Check out the rest of the comments in this thread. Getting a lot of insightful and innovative policy discourse from your post?

If you care about policy, you'll avoid any mention of that person in the future. As soon as her name is mentioned, the policy conversation ends.

That is a failure on the order of how we have a Trump cult.
