Nor under any other Republican administration. They'd never give up those additional house and senate seats, which would be very likely to go to the Democrats.
Easy for Trump to spin this as 'she's the candidate of the elites, not someone real America cares about'. If he even mentions it at all.
It might be, if he can remember who the hell she even is.
She was responsible for security at the Capitol, right?
That was their quick response, of course. Washington DC is “the swamp” which I guess is why Swamp Baboon is so eager to go back there.
Should stoke her ego enough to keep going. Maybe she’ll do just enough damage to trump to keep him out of the White House.
I think the slightest chance of Trump suddenly not being the candidate because of either his legal troubles or his shitty lifestyle are what’s keeping her going.
And the 2028 elections.
She isn't doing any damage to Trump. When will people figure out that he's an actual cult leader? His base is immune to criticism.
His base isn’t where he would incur damage. It’s at the margins where she could make an impact.
A split vote can easily flip a state to the other side. Hope she stays in it.
Oh, the hamberdrs must be flyin’ at Mar-A-Lardo!
He's yelling "pull!" and trying to hit them with ketchup bottles midair.
Lmao, thank you so much for that mental image!
I doubt this will swing the red hats. They want “outsiders” that Washington hates.
Nothing says “outsider” like having your portrait hanging in the White House!
