Marjorie Taylor Greene

^^^ Sherman’s whole post for those who can’t click through…

“A few other GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term.

Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican:

“This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. That is the sentiment of nearly all — appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file. The arrogance of this White House team is off putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened. They don’t even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies. Not even the high profile, the regular rank and file random members are more upset than ever. Members know they are going into the minority after the midterms.

“More explosive early resignations are coming. It’s a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out.”

Perhaps if Romney had stood up to trump as a senator and not lobbied to be SecState, but he bent the knee. So, no.

Well, maybe somebody with legitimacy runs as a Reagan republican...that's my point.

Kemp from Georgia seems like he did a decent job of standing up to Trump in 2020. Only problem is overseeing super-restrictive social policies in a state that is basically 50/50 blue/red overall.

The VT governor is maybe a better example, but he has no national profile. He refused to send VT national guard to cities, socially leans liberal but nothing crazy, etc.

When it's determined who the anti-zionist presidential candidate will be among the Dem/Repub/Independent, the rest of the field will fall in line. Yes, I think Israel will be a major campaign issue and that there will be an unsuccessful third (an maybe even a fourth) party push.

“The television was, as always, set to Fox News, though Greene told me she no longer watched the network because she found it factually unreliable.”

She is definitely running. And I think she has a very good shot at getting the nomination. There is zero chance Vance or Rubio make it through the primaries.

I recommend reading The New Yorker article about MTG.

One person said he believed that she really thought Trump was the answer. After reading this article, I started to wonder if she exited the cult after seeing the Epstein Files.

I now assume she saw or learned something about Trump that shifted her mindset and opened her eyes.

She said she wanted the Epstein Files released and appeared with women Epstein and others hurt. Trump did not like this. When he trashed her an called her Marjorie Traitor Greene, it seemed she was surprised since she thought she had been loyal.

So, he trashed her around the time she was saying she wanted the Epstein Filed to come out.

Did she believe Trump had nothing to hide?

Did she learn Trump possibly killed a baby and left it dead in Lake Michigan?

I don’t know. But something changed.

She does not know history, but she knows how to win people to her side.

She gets $1M a year from her family’s company and she does very little. I think her ex runs the company now.

She will also have a US pension.

MTG was on Bill Maher this week. And listening to her talk, she's not that bright. Lots of non sequiturs, irrelevant responses, and just flat out rhetoric. Next to Joe Scarborough, whatever you think of his politics, she looked out of her league. Bigly.

Glad she's had some change of heart (but not all, as she made clear on the show) and toned down her crazy some. But, she has no place in public decision-making, imo.

Gosh - if there was only something they could do, like grow a spine, find some common ground with moderate Democrats, and oust Johnson.

So sick of the helplessness from the GOP crowd. Stand up for your constituents, damn it.

We only got Mike Johnson by scraping the bottom of the barrel after Kevin McCarthy was ousted. Who else could possibly be out there?

No compassion for you, cowards. Absolute cowards.

I think MTG just marches to the beat of her own drummer. She was never a student government kid and doesn’t care that much about the prestige of being elected. her cultural and educational horizons were quite narrow before she came to DC. And she is a curious combination of kind of gullible/clueless and very determined and focused. I think when it became clear that Trump had zero loyalty to her and she started to become fixated on Epstein, and learned enough to know that R agendas don’t help MAGA constituents economically, she had no conventional ties to being a politician or even a Republican holding her in place. And she is not the type to go quietly.

I don’t quite admire her (because I think she is a loca at heart) but I appreciate her independence and unwillingness to be cowed by Trump.

I tend to agree with you. I do not entirely respect her, because I do not respect anyone stupid enough to be taken in by Trump. But the enemy of my enemy is my friend (temporarily), and I'm glad her departure from the Trump camp is helping to weaken it, ever so slightly. I hope for a lot more departures in the near future.
