I think Ms Green has backed herself into a 'career ending' corner

Her wacked out followers will likely turn on her because she's denounced so much of what she previously espoused, and the rhetoric she ran on. I have a feeling that there were a number of other GOPers who would loved to have voted 'yea' but are cowards but they will be keeping their distance. And anyone with an ounce of integrity AND sanity isn't going to want to have anything to do with her. I'm thinking the word pariah will be a good way to describe her.

I wonder how many people will register to primary her, next year. I bet it will be more than a few

Greene could not have made a worse enem.

that probably increased even more. So, the fact she has made such a spectacle of herself--that her most repulsive views and comments have gone NATIONAL, is going to wake up a lot of those voters. She may come from a District that is slavishly devoted to Republicans, but they might just use that awareness in the next primary to kick her butt out.

She has absorbed every lesson Trump never even knew he was teaching, and with lighting speed. 24/7 news coverage, shameless money-raising 24/7, completely unfettered by truth, and a nice cushy government job where she won’t have any responsibility except rabble-rousing.

And that big field of primary contenders for her next election plays right into her hands. She’ll be the one everybody already knows, the big name.

She “wins” her primary with a tiny vote. Hopefully our party can avoid nominating a troubled candidate next time.

It sounded like he was well meaning, young, naive, and had no idea what sort of political climate he was entering into.

I think he thought he was just going to present himself as a nice local guy, and talk about issues of concern to his constituents.

I think he may have ended up with some kind of mental breakdown.

That's what I recall anyway.

Will they rally around her and embrace the Q lunacy or welcome a (hopefully) sane primary challenger? I'm guessing the former.

they send only one challenger up against her, maybe the guy that ran against her before. If she is her party’s nominee in 2022, a conservative Democrat has a chance of winning her seat. It is hard to believe that the repugh that reflectively voted R are all crazy, a conservative Democrat with a clean personal life can win some of them over.
