Her advisors will be doing what any good advisors and staff will do. That’s why they’re paid.

I don't want to start another argument about Trump, but this is how he gets attention- do something, do anything, to get the media to talk about you.  She could make the same play.  You don't think Trump gets "the wrong attention?"  But somehow, he plays it to his advantage.  She could play it as, "The global woke elites are trying to bring me down with their gotcha questions that have NOTHING TO DO WITH THE INVASION AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER OR THE WEAKNESS AND CORRUPTION OF THIS ADMINISTRATION!!!"  Republicans these days love nothing more than a good anti-woke, anti-media RANT.  I'm saying she should use this to get the cameras on her and get the media to attack her.  And then attack the media.  She'd be like Trump, only with a much higher IQ.  

You say the media is already at war with her, but really, it's not enough.  She should want them to be MORE at war with her.  To Republicans, going to war with the media is like going to war with Al Qaeda.  The more they attack her, the better for her.  

What I SAY "neo-confederate" I'm talking about the large portion of southern Republicans who like to deny that the Civil War was about slavery.  We've had these discussions on this very message board, with people trying to say things like "slavery would have gone away on its own, the Civil War was fought over the principle of states' rights, and not slavery, etc etc etc."  She's a Republican from South Carolina, and she gave an answer that would play well with a large portion of the Republican base.  Especially southern Republicans.
