of what their constituents want and in wyoming we found out that the republicans out there would rather their congressman be more of a mirror than somebody who follows what s in her heart. her positions aren t invalid, it s just that they re out of step with the people of wyoming. so i think that that question is interesting in this day and age. the person we don t talk much about is hageman who won who has been on quite a journey. i m old enough to remember when she was on the floor of the republican national convention literally plotting a coup against donald trump s nomination. she was part of the people who were trying to set up a vote on the floor to get rid of donald trump in that big dramatic ted cruz moment and now she s come all the way to being trump s choice here which i find extremely interesting to say the least. so i think she more represents the, well, i m just going to do what you want me to do. it s a pure populous. i have no views of my own, i will just be a vessel fo

before then, though, if you look at the possibility she s going to run, i mean, donald trump loves a foil, loves it, capitalizes on it, makes it work for him. how would she pursue something like that without the unintended consequences of actually helping him? i do think she could take votes away from him if she ran as a third-party candidate which is something she has not said she is willing to do that. perhaps she throws her name into the republican primary and then jumps out and does a third party to take away republican votes away from trump. she can do a lot of political damage. i think she killed her political career to, you know, perhaps rise again and really enact revenge, this might just be the first step and she may be playing the long game right now. listen, i am still skeptical, i think there are all sorts of candidates who were created in the media, people like wes clark, you know, sort of fred thompson, and i think she may be in that category. you really don t hear
