The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Sudden sanity? Seriously?

Did you listen to her 10 minute farewell speech in front of her xmas tree?


But she knows that if she appears as unhinged as she has for the last five years, she has no chance of winning a statewide election.

She’s trying to create some daylight between herself and Trump. And part of that effort is dropping the excesses of MAGA- trying to appear as just an ordinary, run of the mill gun toting and Jesus loving member of the old Freedom Caucus….. only wearing a MAGA hat on Wednesdays and Saturdays, but only after dinner.She’s betting that this will get her elected-by shifting her appeal to include Trump Lite voters- Trumpers who have soured on Trump.

We’re witnessing the metamorphosis of a MAGA faithful.

In many ways she’s doing the opposite journey of Elise Stephanik- but following a version of Wayne Gretsky’s advice:

She’s skating to where she thinks the MAGA voters WILL BE in another year.
