You mentioned her likeability. I don't care about that. You should mention her career as governor of a Southern State. In that capacity, she demonstrated her ability to perform in the role of an executive. That's very important. Not everyone is capable of running a large organization, let alone a government. However, she did several things which IMO were politically expedient on the national level, even though they were unpopular in her state. To me, that's a red flag because it's not a stretch to imagine such a person as U.S. President bowing to the demands of "The World." An elected official has a sacred duty to represent the people who elected her, and she ought to be a fair representative of that electorate. I need to look into her more before I make a decision. As of now, I would have to PASS.
The only thing I remember her doing "expedient on the national level" was taking down the battle flag - maybe not popular with the entire state, but certainly popular with a large portion of it.
