33. She's Feral
Thu Oct 9, 2025, 09:16 AM
Thursday

Not your typical political animal, not groomed and socialized. To those who like her, that is a big part of her appeal. She stands out by being outrageous and not easily domesticated by any so called elite structure, including the Republican Party.

A big part of her is garden variety calculating, trying to raise her profile and climb up the right wing political ladder, but when push comes to shove she is just as likely to go with her gut, since in large part that is how she garners attention. She is a classic loose cannon in other words.
