I think you are spot on.
Most of the conservative shows are an "act". That is not to say that the folks that play these roles don't sincerely believe in the character they are playing (Rush Limbaugh) but it will take a few more years - she is only 24 - before she has "grown" enough to fulfill the role she is trying to play. She needs to mature both mentally and emotionally and also gain much more knowledge.
At least one thing, though - she is convicted in the role she wants to play, unlike Glen Beck. Beck is one of the biggest douchebag/liars - and total frauds - out there. I could not stand that putz when he was on Fox. He has no backbone and changes positions like the wind. It was hilarious to watch him try to sell his media soul out during the campaign. As soon as it was clear that Trump would be the nominee he switched sides to try to curry favor with the liberals (thinking that Trump was going to lose and he could be one of the "good" conservatives that had seen the light - and make a payday off of it.)
Tomi has one other thing going for her as well - she is attractive. And she will be much more attractive as she matures (and mellows a little bit on the outrage meter.)
BTW - the girl is FAR from being an idiot. She recognized a market for her "character" and is pursuing it, quite successfully so far. If anything she is quite smart.
it has been interesting watching her career this past year, watching as she got her first spot on Hannity and then O'Rielly and now on the View - you are watching the cultivation/shaping of the next Megyn Kelly type.
And I hope for whatever guy she gets hooked up with that she IS bisexual! That would be fun times!
