      And if the Dems don’t mount a REALLY effective campaign and candidate, she might be the leading bet for who’s gonna win.

      She is the ONLY one left who captures even a sliver of Trump’s base. But she also has the appeal of people thinking they’re making a “liberal” choice with her. And make no mistake, most of the country does not follow politics or drama and know zilch about her, only that she sounds “down home country” the way she talks and she don’t wanna associate wit dat there Trump fellow after he diddled dem kids.

      When media and interviews turn their eyes to her and start grilling her on the batshit things she said like jewish space lasers and so on, it will only serve to launch her higher in viewership and attention. Trump won on this tactic and Dems still worry about a “perfect candidate” who will preserve the status quo that nobody cares about outside their dusty halls of ancient pageantry and old money.

      We are SO fucked.

        I think enough of the MAGA base is incapable of voting for a woman that she starts in a pretty deep hole even within her party. I don’t see her getting the nomination, and if she does I see her struggling to inspire turnout in the general. Sexism impacted both Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris, and will be even harder for a GOP candidate to overcome.

        Senate. She wants a Senate seat, and Trump wouldn’t endorse her due to the fact she’s been constantly wanting to release the Epstein files.

        Granted, I don’t think she believed that Trump was in the files, until he went ape shit about it.

        She worshiped Trump, and still holds all the ridiculous and evil beliefs from before, but now her god has betrayed her.

        And I say good.

        Trump is likely going down, with or without her, so I say without.

        I just saw a quote from Michelle Obama, along the lines of the US isn’t ready for a woman president. MO might be correct, so yeah let’s have MTG run for pres. to dilute the GOP votes.

          Probably just making excuses for why the awful candidate her husband helped force onto the ballot failed at the most winnable presidential election since the two previous ones.

        Hey dont push it, a Greene-Fuentes ticket probably would beat Newsom-Buttigieg, definitely would win against Harris and whatever cursed soul she picks as a running mate
