They are easy to manipulate with flattery and cash.

They create the chaos and weaken the US and make democracy look foolish.

In addition to Marg's sociopathy and narcissism, it appears that she's probably drug addicted as well. People have speculated she's been doing steroids for years. We can see this manifest in her severe aggressive and nonsensical statements.

They truly believe they are the smartest people in the room, the most intelligent, the most clever.

They never understand why every time they open their mouth people laugh at them.
They assume people are jealous of their brilliance, their beauty, their talent.

It just never occurs to them that they are singularly untalented, below average.

Marge Greene & Clay Higgins Named as Mayorkas Impeachment Managers
Speaker Johnson released the list.

Ron Filipkowski
1 hour ago
https://www.meidastouch.com/news/marge-greene-clay-higgins-named-as-mayorkas-impeachment-managers



Speaker Mike Johnson wasted no time releasing his nominees in a House Resolution to serve as the "Impeachment Managers" for DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Impeachment managers typically serve as prosecutors arguing the case, presenting evidence and witnesses, making opening and closing arguments to the Senate during an impeachment trial.

...........Higgins was last seen posting a threat to Judge Engoron right before the Super Bowl using a depiction of a hit man from the Godfather, and Marge Greene is, well, Marge Greene. Enough said.

Of course, what seems a likely scenario is that Senator Schumer calls an immediate motion to dismiss the impeachment case with an up and down vote before there is any trial. It seems pretty clear that Mitch McConnell and Senate Republican leadership want no part of this clown show, and won't put up much of a fight.

Which will leave poor Marge and Clay all dressed up with nothing to do. I'm sure we may hear from them on the steps of the Senate about that when its over.

get 2/3 of the Senate to vote to convict'. Mostly because they can.

Don't get me wrong, some are 'true believers'. Others want to stoke the base. A third group is trying to make impeachment just another partisan gimmick so the impeachments of President Trump can be delegitimized.
