Who Says MTG Can’t Get Elected President?

If nothing else, the crazy rantings of Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) have clearly moved her ahead of Trump as the most quotable and noticed member of the MAGA gang. Is she working on making a move towards a national political run?

Is New York a city? Does a bear shit in the woods?

Of course, MTG has her sights set on higher things — if not the top slot in 2024 then at least Number Two.

Which brings up the obvious question: Are Americans so dumb that they would let someone like MTG put herself in a position to influence the outcome of a national voting event?

Except that it’s not so much a question as it is a guide to framing the issue discussed in the Annenberg IOD Collaborative’s masterful book — Democracy and Crisis — a monumental study which everyone should read.

What this work clearly demonstrates through intensive analyses of public surveys conducted over the course of a years in 4 states, is that although we hold a Presidential election every four years in which as many 150 million citizens living in 50 states and a bunch of non-state jurisdictions get to make a choice, in point of fact the outcome of this event is based on how a relatively tiny proportion of people in 4 states decide how they want to vote.
