It’s not exactly earth shattering that Al Muench, June Woodard and Neal Iverson write letters criticizing Elise Stefanik. About as much so as if I did. If Rachel Seeber or Dan Stec do, I’ll sit up and take notice.
I’m hopeful that by the time the 1/6 hearings are over a sufficient number of people will be disgusted by the actions of the former president in particular his actions or lack thereof on 1/6. Leonnig and Rucker write about that a bit in their book. Sasse says he was told Trump was delighted that day. It’ll be good to get it all on the record from folks under oath, tho.
Elise has attached herself so tightly I don’t see anyway of backing away, so if the Trump legacy is repulsive enough you may be right. I’m hopeful to see some of the 35 House Reps who supported establishing a commission come out publicly backing Cheney and Kinzinger. Maybe Katko and Meijer to start and apres them, le deluge.
Republicans are going to have to decide between the micro wing with Liz and Adam and the wing with the nuts, the 4G Network of Gaetz, Greene, Gohmert, Gosar and so many names that begin with other letters.
It’s interesting to watch anyway. Like a slow motion train wreck.
Ken -- I don't know the numbers, but my impression of Stefanik's fund-raising "prowess" is that it doesn't extend much farther than right-wing PACs. The last time I saw the figures, PACs and out-of-state donors far exceeded NY21 campaign contributions.
Stefanik's claim to support the police is an huge contradiction with her voteelosi is responsible not to investigate the insurrection. The DC police testify Trump is responsible , Stefanik says
Pelosi is responsible! Who has more credibility ? Stefanik is a deceptive, power hungry dishonest politician not worthy of representing us !! Dave B Canton -21
When you look at Twitter, Facebook, letters to the editor, opinion pieces etc. one would think she is on her last legs as our congressperson. She won the election 188K to 134K. The 134K vent their frustration and disgust on social media etc. The 188K just sit back and wait to vote in the next election. There is no way 60K people in NY 21 are going to change their minds no matter what she does or says. She will win every election. She has nowhere to go. She would lose if she ran for Senator or Governor. If she was tapped as a VP candidate in 24 she could still retain her seat in the House. We are stuck with her.

Maybe, but when it is all on the same day and there were others that day, then you have to wonder.

Except, democracy may be at stake.
I’ll share this with you in case you haven’t seen it. I liked it a lot. The authors are all people I admire.

Thanks, I will take a look.

That may be true. I just know that she has millions to campaign on.
I am so tired of the outright lies from Stefanik. She is a threat to our democracy! Stefanik isn't fit to lick Cheney's and Kinzinger's feet!
You are being kind.
I very much hope that the tide IS turning against her. She’s so ridiculous re the election, Pelosi, etc.

The numbers are hard to argue with, but I still like to think people eventually want to do the right thing.
