The instant she appears to be moving to the front, the democrat smear machine will kick into overdrive and we'll see all sorts of hysterical handwaving and bloviating that she's a terrible person, an awful woman, even that she wears white after Labor Day, and the misogyny of their position won't even be on their radar screen. Democrats love to pretend they support a Republican runner-up, but as soon as they become a front-runner, their true nature shows up and the mud comes out. When a democrat speaks admiringly or even tolerantly about a Republican, you can be assured they're desperately searching internet headlines for anything they can use in a smear campaign.
