It's rather clear to me that she was never any such a thing, like a cross between Zsa Zsa Gabor and the Hildebeast, she was nothing but an opportunist, pretending to be married to a man pretending to be a Reagan Republican, and egging him on to power as the shrew she is, camouflaged in the political flavor
du jour.
Once cast free of him, or her need for same, it became clear who the political climber in the family really was, and she was free to express her actual leanings.
Her ex Michael just wanted to dress stylishly and date chorus boys, not be a senator.
One does not simply wake up one day and say "Small government, strong defense, lower taxes...whatinhell was I thinking??" and then enthusiastically embrace a kinder gentler version of the communism she was born and raised to adore.
She is and remains a bullshit artist and grasping would-be overlord.
IIRC, she made fucktons of money from her divorce settlement with her gaylord pseudo-husband and multi-millionaire.
Fleecing the bubbas with Huff-Po is just icing on the crazy cake.
