To be a leader, a ground-breaking innovator, you need to take risks and go against the grain from time-to-time. Heck, if you do not go against the grain from time-to-time then you are just going with the flow and not really leading.
Of course a leader is going to have those who do not share the vision and they will always bring up criticism.
As for a presidential candidate, I don't care who you are, you are going to have flaws and past actions that need to be accounted for. It is how the candidate handles themselves and answers what they have learned from past experiences that will have a bearing on their viability as a candidate.
As for Carly, I personally like the way she handles herself and answers questions. Having said that, she is a candidate and as with all candidates they need to be vetted for the good of our Constitutional Republic.
As each of us does our due diligence on all the candidates, the good as well as the bad needs to be considered. In the end it is up to each voter to cast their vote for who will be nominated.
For myself here in Nebraska, I still have many months to continue my due diligence on each candidate before casting my vote next year.
