On the contrary
She has to come out with this stuff to appeal to the 'flyover' states. It's the standard dog whistle issues, gays, guns, liberal conspiracies..
The problem is she can't go too far, because if she wins the nomination she has to be able to deny it all and try to look moderate. This is the fundamental problem that any Republican candidate faces these days.
(that said, she is a nutter anyway)

It's every other state she has to appeal to though, which to be fair, she is far from doing now.
And yeah, if by some horrible twist of fate she DOES win, she would have to pass it off as a joke; that's not going to happen.
Her winning, that is.

All the Republican candidates are pretty worryingly right wing. When Karl Rove worries about how extreme they are then you know there's something to be scared about!
