11. It isn't the spouting off that would concern me.

It is the (lack of) intelligence the specific beliefs she was spouting suggest. I have a Democratic insurance agent that I don't trust to make recommendations, since she doesn't understand all of the nuances. I do give her my business so that she gets the commission - only after I've done all of the research and decided what I want.

I wouldn't trust anyone who even entertains the idea of acquiring Greenland or the wholesale dumping federal agencies to advise me on insurance.
