She espouses the sink or swim mentality; if someone is born into a poor family, tough luck for the kid, no assistance will be provided. She’s a free stater.

In the link it says her parents had considered aborting her.

" In a speech at the 2017 March for Life, she said her parents, immigrants from Haiti, considered aborting her but decided not to do so."

more competitive, Democratic pond so became a republican where there's more visibility for someone different and willing to, shall we say, not particularly care about the needs of ordinary people.

She's annoying to me. I'll bet she used the word "transactional" about people or situations several times today. It's her favorite. She seems to think it makes her seem knowledgeable.
