This dissection of Miss McCain could describe most dissent within the GOP [1]:
In the end, it’s not her beliefs that make Meghan so unattractive as a leading Republican voice, it’s her complete lack of substance. A brief look at the comment section of any one of her Daily Beast articles would tell you that even her readers understand that the droll she commits to writing is generally empty, purposeless, and boring. Her only message seems to be, “look at me, I think I’m an atypical Republican.”
My guess is that Meghan is smart enough to know this, but unwilling to confront it. Until she does, Conservatives and moderate Republicans alike will fail to view her as anything other than the spoiled, vacuous daughter of a former presidential candidate. Being attractive and having Thousands of twitter followers might make you popular, but it in no way lends gravity to what you say.
Brutal, but undeniably true — and goes for about 95% of the Twitterati as well. Popularity is not gravitas.
