    Back in the day, George HW Bush came out hard against Ronald Reagan’s economic policy in the 1980 GOP debates. He called the idea of cutting taxes for the rich 'voo-doo economics." Later at the Convention, Bush was chosen to be Reagan’s Veep.

    My guess is the MTG smells blood in the water and is positioning herself to be the ‘loyal opposition’ to Trump.

      This is absolutely what is happening. She is the current rotating villain for the GOP. She’s “allowed” to go against the party line and become a villain to a subset of their voters and to make “independent” voters think there is still sanity in the party.

      I don’t trust this woman at all. She enabled all of this. She has to do a lot more than this to redeem her behavior and voting record.

      Remember when she harassed David Hogg before she was in office? She has no shame, she deserves no forgiveness for so little done in good faith.

        Ahem. Fuck that cunt. The news “sanewashing” of the space lazer lady is fucking insane. She has zero business being in politics. But my god does the US not realize how fucked it is before it’s too late.

        voters think there is still sanity in the party.

        Gotta say though, surely they didn’t need to pick the “Rothchilds are using space lasers to start wildfires” and “Yes they can control the weather” person to be their “voice of sanity”.
