I think it would be correct to say that the 'Deep Establishment' killed her father....so, she might just want to educate herself....but no. Being a regular on NPR already means one is lightweight when it comes to understanding what is what in American/World polity/history. Sad. She is one of hundreds of millions.....only difference is the importance of her father in history and the potential position she is in....totally squandered.
