Well, howdy there internet people. It's
Belle again.
So, today we're going to talk about
what's going on with Marjorie Taylor
Green. So, MTG has been making a
surprising amount of sense lately. For
this bizarre brief moment, she's dropped
a lot of the wild rhetoric. She hasn't
mentioned space lasers in a while, and
she's acting in what could broadly be
considered the best interests of her
district, even though it requires
breaking with Republican leadership over
Trump's shutdown.
Her seemingly reasonable positions have
led to this question. Quote, "Is
Representative MTG sick? She is saying
things, reasonable things. She does
revert back and say outlandish things
still. However, every couple days I see
her say something in an interview or
make a post that seems reasonable, like
needing a better solution to labor than
just deporting everyone. She's really
been putting a spotlight on the state of
healthcare. What's going on?
I think people are so accustomed to MTG
being well weird that they've overlooked
the most obvious answer. She's a politician.
politician.
Back in July, she declined to throw her
hat into the ring for the governor's
race. That came after she announced she
wasn't going to run for Senate.
politicians only announced they aren't
running for a position when it was under
consideration or there was heavy
speculation about them seeking the position.
position.
There's reporting that says part of the
reason she declined to jump in the race
was because she was shown internal
polling that suggested she wouldn't win.
If we take all of this information in,
we can reasonably assume that MTG wants
to move forward in politics and progress
beyond the House of Representatives.
We can also reasonably assess that she
trusts internal polling despite her
public statements that she would have
won. It looks like she's planning for a
postTrump world. Politically, there's a
huge difference between winning a deep
red district that favors Republicans by
about 20 points and winning in a
statewide race like governor or senator
in a swing state. In her district, she
can be the bizarre fire brand with wild
rhetoric that has put her on the
national scene. In a statewide race,
that doesn't fly.
It seems like she might be adjusting her
public persona to gear up for a future
run for a wider office.
Making the shift from her current
reputation to somebody who could
successfully run the state governor's
office won't be an easy task, but the
push back against Trump's shutdown and
trying to make the case for health care
for the people of Georgia is probably a
good start.
Green's real issue might be well Green.
There's not a lot of widespread belief
that she can hold to reasonable
positions, avoid inflammatory rhetoric,
and recast herself as somebody who can
run a state government. But the simplest
answer here is probably the right one.
Green is trying to move away from her
image and out of the house.
Anyway, it's just a thought. Y'all have
