The kindest thing you can say about her is that she values something more than the Trump cult. Whether she "comes by her crazy honest" or is just tired of subordinating her own ambition to his whims, that I couldn't say. In any event, she's quite awful and even joking that she's welcome in the Democratic party is stupid, but the break itself should be welcome. I think we're also going to be seeing a good bit of erosion around the edges and some pretty insane palace politics. I have no doubt that a lot of people fancy themselves Trump's defacto heir, and the jockeying for that and people not wantingg to wait until he croaks may be the only thing that keeps him from getting significant support in testing the term limits on US presidents.

If he were younger he might actually pull off that third term. But I’m thinking by then, if a cheeseburger doesn’t get him first, the dementia will have him so far off his rocker the cult won’t be able to hold together.

Call me an optimist I guess 🤷
