In my opinion there was a time that she was.

Key word: Was.

She has shifted.

She’s still far more conservative than anything Dems would have to offer. I’ll punch her chad if she’s the GOP candidate in November. If they manage to run Trump out of the race somehow, that’s what will likely be my GOP option in November. But yes, at this point in her political development, I would no longer categorize her as a TEA party candidate.
