(135,425 posts)And I did no such accusing--but you accusing me of accusing? Now THAT's a slimy thing to say!
That "scenario" IS making the rounds. You think I shouldn't mention that fact because it might hurt tender feelings? Let's give everyone the mushroom treatment, keep 'em all calm, happy and in the dark?
I haven't seen any dot connecting that places her in the middle of anything like that, but as we all know, a) It's not necessary to connect the dots to create a conspiracy; b) The GOP are skilled at this sort of thing; c) They aren't going to "go easy" on an opponent out of some misguided sense of Marquess of Queensberry rules, or chivalry, or what-have-you.
Big picture, this is probably not the worst of her problems. If things don't get better with Putin, her "honeymoon" with her 2nd husband will be more than enough grist for the GOP mill, in the highly unlikely event that it should ever come to that. Fair? Probably not. Doesn't mean they won't use it, though.
