I don't trust her at all. But it is nice to watch.
Oh, I totally agree. I have no idea where this is going, but it is certainly entertaining to watch.
I think she's betting long term for when the orange baby dies and the implosion of his cult of personality takes a lot of the GOP with it. If that happens she can point to her new record and position herself as the return to sanity whilst also still being a republican which gives current and then ex-maga supporters an out without having to admit that their shitty morals is what got the petty petulant perpetual pants pooper into power.
Honestly a very solid strategy now that Georgia is purple. Especially if she is angling for a governor or senate position.
I hate it, but I can recognize the strategy amd logic behind it
paul ryan ducked too early and nobody remembers him
I recall saying the same thing on June 16 2015. If I had only known then what I know now.
She either made a ton of fuck you money and bailed out (like so many do in politics), or she's trying to cynically change her image to be able to win elections in Georgia.
So, you really think she ballsy enough to try a political bounce-back moment? Especially in Georgia?
I mean… She might be stupid enough…
I don’t think that she thinks ahead at all. No conniving, just reactions.
Definitely
I don't trust her, but I don't think we need to to use her. This could be honest, or it could be just a tool she's using. It doesn't matter. It has the same effect of being a thing we can point to to say even she realizes it.
