MAGA voters seem pretty unlikely to vote for women.
I mean it's a trippple doom for her. She's a woman, she's half way shedding maga siding with dem's on the epstein files, and on protecting healthcare, and she has a history of being outright crazy in multiple directions.
In short, I don't think her recent forays into sanity are going to erase the stain the R party has on it now, nor erase her claims of weather controlling machines and space lasers to earn any support from the left.
Then to court maga... obviously they'd need to be less sexist, and she'd need to seem more... on trumps side.
I think AOC's comment is probably right, she got snubbed for senate seat by trump... and now she's pissed and wanting to break that glass ceiling.
Newsom/Greene 2028, lmao (please let this be a joke!)
DNC: "THATS A FUCKING BRILLIANT IDEA"
if this turns out to be true, I will hate you.
in the mean time, this got a chuckle.
If there’s any organization that we can count on to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory it’s the DNC
She is crazy enough, however, to make a big stink if Trump doesn't step aside and let her have a crack at the Presidency.

That's why we need to be promoting this as a brilliant idea
I think you're underestimating the potential power of "vote for a woman to own the libs and show them we're not sexist. They're stupid!"
They'd be faster to transvestigate her first
Sadly, I think the only way we get a female president is if all candidates are female. AOC vs. MTG would be a good history maker.
Disagree. For one, it'd be an underwhelming point as a historic marker if it's the only option. And two, we haven't gotten a female president yet cuz the women we keep running are shit candidates. Sexism is absolutely a factor, but I don't think it compares to the absolute fuckton of baggage (actual or perceived - doesn't matter) that comes with Hillary, or Harris's last minute embrace of Israel's genocide.
We haven't actually tried running a woman who's also a decent human being. AOC would wipe the floor with her opponent's face, regardless of that opponent's gender.

lol the GOP will never let a woman lead
She'll 100% run...
The question is if it's just a grift and she plans to drop and endorse early, or if she'll actually try to win
That seemed to have been Trump's original plan and now here we are.
Because his favorite wedding guest controlled the opposing party, so she thought the best use of her time was hyping trump up since he'd be an "easy" candidate for her to beat.
At least for this cycle, we don't have a DNC corrupt and/or crazy enough to try and campaign for the craziest republican

I'd like to laugh, but I did that with Trump and he got elected twice. Never know who fools will elect to lead.
Trailer Grease has none of the pull the orange turd has, though. Most of MAGA considers her nuttier than squirrel shit and would NOT vote for her.

If she becomes the first female president, I'm probably going to off myself. High likelihood. Nonzero.

As I was saying…. This ghoul is not on your side just because she is abandoning the MAGA ship.
She basically represents a district full of KKK members lmao.
Fuck I really don't want to see her face or hear her talk more. Her ads will be maddening.
I hope so. MAGA Republicans aren't going to vote for a woman for president. I have a feeling it would be a humiliating experience for her.
MTG vs. AOC.
I'd tune in to watch that.

Just another vile demagogue. And people will be dumb enough to vote for her.
NO NO NO!
she's a great candidate! let's boost her so that she beats all the other Rs so that the Ds win!
oh, we tried that? and what happened? oh, wow. maybe we shouldn't do that this time.
I would love MTG to be the Republican nominee. That would guarantee AOC in a head to head match up.
You over estimate Americans. People said this shit about the orange goblin. This concept of let their dumbest most pathetic candidate rise to the top so we can crush them no longer works.

If a new "real maga" comes out of the current maga and allows the movement to reset its image of economic failure and child sexual abuse I'm gonna be fucking pissed.

This might be a good thing actually. More votes for the other side lol. But what if it’s woman vs woman?!
Explains why she's said a few somewhat reasonable things lately as opposed to before when all she said was batshit crazy garbage.
Except MAGA doesn't like 'reasonable'.
Article mentions she's seemingly trying to court anti-Trump people by going on stuff like CNN. Guessing the "real MAGA" thing means trying to "improve" America instead of just being part of a cult (even if her understanding of what would improve the country is radically different from mine).
Anyway by reasonable I meant she wasn't talking about the Biden admin controlling the weather with space lasers to destroy Republican communities and was instead going against most Republicans for stuff like the Epstein files and so on.

I mean, she is a better representation of what republicans and MAGA actually say they are. When you really dig in to what they believe they would never vote for Trump if they weren't indoctrinated into a cult that he created. He's literally against everything they stand for when you go past the surface but they are so blinded by owning the libs that they don't see it anymore. Remember before the election last year and every republican, including voters, said that Trump was poison and that they would never support him again? They know this deep down even if they won't admit it. They just either don't care, want something out of it, or are genuinely blind to him fucking everyone over. MTG used to be one of the hardcore believers and I genuinely think was brainwashed and is slowly starting to realize it.
But to be clear, I still think she is a garbage human. I just believe that deep down this is the candidate they'd actually want if they weren't so deep in the propaganda from their Dear Leader. She would actually do republican things and not just use it as a guise to become a dictator.

Yeah, that tracks with her recent walking back of her Qanon shit posting.
I am also unsurprised that The View has helped her along with this effort. 😒
Pass.
Don't be so quick to dismiss, are you aware of the jewish space lasers problem?
This sounds ridiculous of course.
But so did a Trump run, it used to be a joke when he put his hat in.
No one is laughing now.
Trump put soo much of his identity into MAGA that I doubt it'll end well for her.
Fellow people of Lemmy, the first women President of America. I do hope this comment ages like milk.
How do they know? Trying to understand this woman is worse than trying to understand lassie, when she runs to tell people that Timmy fell down the well. Shes the human equivalent of smashing your face into the keyboard and crossing your fingers you get a coherent sentence out of it.
So does this mean she wants the VP slot under Vance? Or is this some sort of fundraising grift?
