21. Well, it will be, when and if she's drummed out of Congress.

If there are no consequences, she can understandably respond with a big drama show of faux outrage and would-be martyrdom and vigorously milk it all in the press.

She can claim “see? MY people don’t care! MY people VOTED for me! It’s absolutely legit, and if they want ME to represent them, then they have a RIGHT to have me represent them!”

Or words to that effect. And she’ll play the “poor me, I’m a victim! They’re persecuting me!” And she’ll lean in hard for donations. And some donations WILL come, sad to say. People who are actually willing to vote for her seem to want to be had at the end of a fork, if it means she gets ahead and can “own the libs”, whatever the fuck THAT means.
