Populism has always been a powerful political force but at the same time an unpredictable and dangerous tiger whose tail it is very dangerous to hold.

That fact can't be denied no matter how many PACs AIPAC tries to filter funds through.

She may be a good candidate but as long as she has the taint of AIPAC she accepts the risk of defeat.
