It would be very useful to know more about her voters. What are they like in her district? What is swaying them? What are their issues and problems?
Also, if she’s no dummy (Harvard educated), what about her education failed her (and us)? Or is she so driven by greed, is she being bought off with real money and/or promises of fame and money.
And what are her parents and teachers saying?
I guess I have to wait for the New Yorker.
A Harvard education does not preclude overweening stupidity.
She’s the female version of DeSantis. No morals, conviction, or ideology of her own, she just wants power and if being a racist and allowing “others” to die gets her that power she’ll gleefully go along with it.
Nor stupid overweening.
The point being that a sizable chunk of the GOP base is only the GOP base because of Donald Trump. Be it Trumps racism, misogyny, xenophobia, religious bigotry, but for this they would not be Republicans. Furthermore if they were not Republicans there would be many fewer Republicanso holding elected office including Stefanik. Hence to remain in power many Republicans feel they must be as Trumps as possible be it racist, fascist, liars, or the rest. I mean how many working class Whites benefited from Trumps billionaire tax cut, none. So what is the Republican Party really about.
These people, racists, misogynists, fascists run the Republican Party and Trump runs them, because without them Stefanik and many other Republicans would not be in office.
One other point about Stefanic, with Democrats controlling redistricting and New York losing a seat, why not it be her.
She’s the definition of the term “opportunistic b… er… witch.”
It’s amazing how the lack of possesion of a soul by Trumpers always shows on their faces.
She - and the others - are anything but stupid. Their cynicism is beyond measure. Josh Hawley is hawking his book against ‘woke technology’ on Amazon. No one has a problem with that apparently.
Graduating from Harvard is not proof one is not a dummy. This SF State grad has happily fired graduates of Harvard and Yale for being “talentless typists” after selling themselves as writers.
WOW! Stefanik has drifted into a very deep state of loony!
The list of GOPers with balls is very short and they aren’t the ones who deserve a smack in the face.
How to not be re-elected as a Rep from NY in one easy step!
She’s gonna be upset when the Orangutan Cheatoh is overheard saying
‘She’s not my type’
They are the “West Virginians” of Upstate NY, living mostly in the Adirondack State Park and suffering economically, in part due - so they believe - to the State’s limitations on economic development of that region.
Well, you can console yourself thinking how it often doesn’t really work out in an ever-changing world. The French Revolution comes to mind, and the Civil War.
To wit,
Every giant … presupposes a dwarf, every genius a hidebound philistine … The first are too great for this world, and so they are thrown out. But the latter strike root in it and remain … the hero leaves behind him the play-acting Octavianus, Emperor Napoleon the bourgeois king Louis Philippe …

If by dismaying you mean entirely predictable, then yes, so very dismaying…
Yep, McCarthy and the boys are drunk on Trump’s grundle musk lol
I agree with Charles Blow.
But her present position does not expunge her past positions. The sword she’s falling on is one she has spent her political career brandishing.
If Cheney is punished by her own party, I will not applaud, but I also will not sob. I sit silently in acknowledgment, as one does, when karma swings low and performs its function.
Oh.
