@MidnightRider She's pandering to #Trump for the VP nomination, just as are Noem, DeSantis, etc.
They all know he's toast. They're hoping to be in place when MAGA needs a new savior to con them.
@MidnightRider She may play an idiot, but MTG is not an idiot. She knows exactly what she's doing. Her performance art gets her on TV and creates the appearance of more power than she really has.
If #Trump doesn't pick her for VP, I suspect some day she'll run for Georgia governor or U.S. Senate.
@WordsmithFL Certainly she's focused and shrewd, after all look at the position she carved out. But I find other elements of her character incredibly ignorant. Especially when panders to zealots about God's warnings.
@MidnightRider Evangelism is based on blind faith that the Bible is literally true despite the ample evidence to the contrary. That's how #Trump, MTG, and their ilk operate. They prey upon people who have blind faith in them despite the ample evidence to the contrary. MTG is building up a nice fat war chest off these rubes, just as Trump did.
@WordsmithFL The tax free Army, I'm well aware.
@WordsmithFL You might be exactly right, just when you thought Trump was the floor Marjorie digs a cellar.
