Tim Miller: Marjorie Taylor Greene Turns On Mike Johnson?

"Tim Miller joins MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle to take on the House taking five weeks off during a government shutdown to the absurd “autopen investigation” that’s distracting from the Epstein files. He calls out MAGA lawmakers for pretending to be populists while their trade wars hammer farmers and consumers, and reacts to Steve Bannon’s bizarre talk of a Trump third term."

As Fred Schneider wrote about U.S. Representative Marjorie T. Greene 3 weeks ago: 

"But for someone like a Marjorie Taylor Greene to ever be able to represent anything other than a gerrymandered, MAGA district, in rural Georgia, to getting elected in a big, diverse state like Georgia, (11 million people) she is going to have to drop her political escaped mental patient routine and sound and act like a mainstream Republican. You know, like a Conservative (for example) and be able to compete in the parts of Georgia where most of its residents live, which is the Atlanta metro area and the big counties there, as well as Savannah.  The parts of Georgia that are very urban and suburban, even blue. 

Georgia is not Mississippi. (Duh!!!) You can't win statewide in Georgia as a Republican, with just Anglo-Saxon-Protestant, blue-collar, rural voters. You have to compete and win in the cities as well. This is what Marjorie Taylor Green's call to political sanity campaign is really about: her winning Georgia." 

From The New Democrat

I'm not going to say something like: 

"You know there's something rotten in Denmark, when even Marjorie Taylor Greene can sound like a mature, responsible, sane, and even intelligent politician".

Or, something like 

"It's official: insanity has been cured and we can now let all the mental patients out. How do I know this? Because even our favorite mental patient Marjorie Taylor Greene sounds reasonable, responsible, intelligent, and even sane now. So the next person that calls Marjorie, "Crazy Marge", could be looking at a libel suit". 

Don't worry, I'm not going to say that. Correction: I'm not going to make those two comments again. 

As Fred said 3 weeks ago, the distinguished Representative from the Peach State, wants something more from her career, than to sound a career politician from Mississippi, or West Virginia. She wants to play in the big leagues, politically. And that means not just getting elected statewide, but getting elected statewide in a big, swing state, (like Georgia) where she would have real competition, especially from a Democrat, in the general election. 

To paraphrase Fred: the Crazy Baby act on MTG's part, might just be that. That''s what she did to become a MAGA star. But MAGA might be even to whacked-out, too far from Planet Earth, even for the Marjorie T. Greene's of this world.
