FTA:
Now comes the true test of whether or not McCarthy can ram through a true-blue RINO for Caucus leader. He wants Stefanik, as do others in Leadership, and if he gets his way it's back to "Same Shit Sandwich, Different Day."
I know a lot of folks in Twitterville are really dumping on Stefanik. And I understand why. Her early voting record reflected the wishes of Paul Ryan. When she entered Congress in 2014 she was 30 years old (the youngest member) and taken under the tutelage of the Paul Ryan wing, who would go on to serve as Speaker until his resignation in 2019.
I think Stefanik had two epiphanies.
The first was in 2018 when she witnessed first hand her constituents reactions to President Trump (who was campaigning for her):
And the second was during Impeachment I when she got to see for herself what was really going on and to know the President personally-- unfiltered through Ryan. She formally switched teams at this point, IMHO.
The President had a long talk with Stefanik before he announced his endorsement of her for the leadership position. FWIW, I think she's on the Trump Train. I'd like to see her spend some time with Matt Gates and Marjorie Taylor Greene --- maybe tag along at the America First Rallies they're holding.
I also think this is where are focus should be now:
