To the point where the opponent start stuttering because they realize they are utterly defeated and just start trying to save their face. She is razor SHARP and have a gigantic intellect. I would not want to face her in a debate believe you me! She has totally owned every opponent in every political discussion I have ever seen.

Either way, if that is a mullet - we need more people like that in office.

Hope she can do some good or at least crack a few heads. That being said, I'm predicting she'll have a hard time being taken seriously, what with being (shock ! horror !) a woman, young, and member of a "nontraditional" party. Hope I'm wrong. Still, good news. Well at least she’s had time to bone up on European procedure/law and the like… Hope she can do some good or at least crack a few heads.
