What's Behind "That Little B"?

What exactly is behind the feud dynamic between Marjorie Taylor Green and Lauren Boebert? Interesting. Green has been a staunch ally of the leadership, more particularly, Speaker McCarthy, and remains totally loyal to Trump as well. Is she really angling for the VEEP spot on the Republican ticket, as some reporting has already claimed, or is this more about moving up in the leadership? Probably both, with leadership in the House as a consolation prize. Either way, she seemingly can't lose.

So does she really give a shit about being ousted from The Freedom Caucus? Probably not. Boebert, on the other hand, has been doing a lot of campaigning with surrogates, most notably Don Jr. Does she also have VEEP ambitions? Maybe. So, it appears to be far more of a political fight than a cat fight, as so much of the press have already labelled it.

All of this is incredibly amusing, but I think Trump, who thus far appears likely to win the nomination, will more than likely want a woman on the ticket. But in my book, rival candidate Nikki Haley would likely have the inside track there. Normally, it would be smart to do a Reagan-Bush for the general, but the antipathy between Trump and DeSantis now makes that impossible. They quite literally appear to hate each other.

Once again, I think convention wisdom is complete bullshit: Republican strategist after Republican strategist has taken to the airways to say that if Trump wins Iowa, then it's all over. Nope. Mind you, if Trump wins both Iowa and New Hampshire, then yes, he'll probably become the nominee.

As for the general, if Biden and Trump are the nominees and Biden remains mired at 40% in the polls, then Biden more than likely loses to Trump, incredible as that seems. Registered independents will call the tune in 2024 and right now, at least a plurality of them quite literally hate Biden's guts because of inflation and the bad economy, you know, the economy they laughably pretend is a good economy.

So Trump has The Big Mo right now. Let's see how long it lasts.
