    My most charitable thinking about this is that she s always just playing to win. The way she acted was just that, an act. She did it because she knew it appealed to a particular segment of society that could get her elected. Now there is a sea change she is smart enough to know MAGA is doomed and she had jumped ship early because she thinks it will be more politically advantageous in the long run.

    She may be genuinely remorseful if she is good for her, but it doesn’t erase the things she had voted for, against, and the things she said that harmed people or incited violence deliberately or accidentally.

    That said, she is somewhat uniquely positioned to assist in the deprogramming of MAGA members so, though I don’t trust her, the things she is doing and saying today are leading people away from Trump, and that is the most vital mission right now.

      Yeah, the apologies are the first step, if she follows through and changes we can decide wgat to do. But as it stands stepping back will at the very least reduce the heat she gets because she only gets it because she’s actively been picking fights

      She isn’t deprogramming shit. She is leading people away from Trump and toward her because she suspects Trump will be dead soon and she wants to take his place. She “loves Trump” (her words from the view interview). You’d have to be dumber then a liberal to take her at her word.

        I didn’t actually say she was deprogramming anyone, just that she is in a position where she could.

        That said, the fact that she is speaking out against him has unquestionably lead other people to doubt him.

        Whether she is trying to take his place is not a point I tried to address directly, but I do believe she is behaving this way because she sees it as a way to further her own political career.
