3. Without the Nassau-Suffolk GOP, Stefanik is primary roadkill

This also puts it on Trump to endorse one of these clowns. Will he finally tell Stefanik how he really feels about her?



For a brief history, Stefanik, an otherwise normal Republican, went all MAGA in order to please Dear Leader and advance her position in the House and beyond. She became a chief election denier and bulldog, and was seemingly rewarded with a prize she really wanted: UN Ambassador. Stefanik is actually rich and smart: she went to the tony Albany Academy for Girls (one of the most expensive schools in the country) and then to Harvard. She wanted to live on the Upper East Side and do UN Ambassador things, not truck around the North Country opening car dealerships in Plattsburgh. So Trump dangled UN Ambassador for her, then yanked it, handing it instead to the most incompetent moron he could find, Signal Chat dimwit Mike Walz. So it was back to the House and the district for Stefanik, but she was also dangled another carrot: governor of New York, with donors and Trump support.

And now? If Trump yanks that too, I really want to see Stefanik's response. She has turned herself into a fool for him, done everything he asked of her, she's been humiliated publicly, and -- as a competent and intelligent woman - she's been replaced by a certified idiot for the promotion that she wanted. And now? Will Trump back downstate MAGA weirdo Bruce Blakeman, of Arizona State University?

She has to be absolutely losing her mind.

And I love that for her.
