If you have had the chance to see how the current leadership of the Republican Party eats its young and spits them out, you'd be in agreement on her move to the Democratic Party. While they have such a large bench and she is going to be the last in line for any promotion at this point, at least she won't be going into a party where your personal mette was put under so much attack every day by people who are, still,  just plain nasty.
