I believe she would cheer elimination of the estate tax and cutting corporate taxes.

I hope she changes her viewpoint.

I once saw her do an interview on MSNBC or CNN about 2004 or 2005 in which someone was telling her, through an earpiece, how to answer questions and she got very flustered with someone talking in her ear while being interviewed...

Well, she's a never Trumper now and she and Frum, another never Trumper, rip the Orange one a new a$$hole just about every evening on MSNBC!

Washington Journal. She used to be a frequent guest on the show and she was a staunch, annoying as hell, Republican. As such, they all had a similar method of dominating the conversation by never giving the alternate guest a chance to speak, as she would recite standard GOP talking points. She also, would always have something like in her mouth which she would be sucking on, while talking, that used to drive me crazy.

Since she obviously became a Never Trump'er, she has changed considerably. She appears frequently on MSNBC shows and she is much more critical of the GOP and a lot more tolerable to listen to. She also seems a lot happier when criticizing Trump and the GOP which she doesn't hesitate to do these days.

They like tax cuts, but they're all about America getting tough with the world and, especially, pounding the entire Middle East into submission to Likud. The troops-should-be-rounding-up-Jews-here-at-home-instead-of-invading-foreign-countries nationalism of Herr Bannon and the Tiki Torch in Chief are not their cup of tea.
