1. She has a long history of duplicity.

She used this tactic most recently in facilitating the passage of the year end budget bill that scaled back Dodd-Frank and legally put taxpayers on the hook for derivatives losses.

Publicly criticize the measure but work behind the scenes to pass it while maintaining plausible deniability. It's a deeply cynical way to conduct business and after our disastrous mid-term losses I'm wondering why she's still minority leader.
