Ann Coulter has been wrongly condemned for supposedly saying she 'supports' Hillary over McCain. What she said is that Hillary would be preferrable over McCain because only with Hillary in the White House and Democrats controlling the Congress will the numbskulled idiots who now run the GOP be jolted awake to the fact that they CANNOT diss the conservative principles of Reagan and get elected! I, too, am convinced this is the only way to reclaim the GOP from RINOS:
