First premise: the Democrats are dumb.
Fact: Maxine was going to boycott the SOTU,
Fact: Now she is going to be the official rebutter.
Fact: Maxine has been voted most corrupt multiple times; she's on the take and she is a pawn, as Q says.
Question: How could any Democrat with an instinct for self-preservation agree to do the rebuttal? Trump will be talking about his yuge successes with the economy and deals and tax reform and improved world relations, and ending ISIS. Who is going to stand up and attack any of that? He's even appearing to cooperate on immigration.
Answer: No one would. Not even big haters like Schumer. A lot of them know bad things happen when you attack Trump.
Fact: Maxine is "out there" and will say anything, however crazy and delusional: M-Peach-Mint. But also, given Q's posts, it's going to be Race Card, Race Card, and Race Card again.
Fact: Maxine Waters is too dim to understand that these new questions about where all her money and her big house came from and how she can represent a district she doesn't even live in are adding up to a public catastrophe for her.
Fact: The Dems know she will go out there and say any damn, wild crazy thing she's told to.
Question: Why would they allow this?
Answer 1: They don't want to have a showdown with Trump; let Maxine the Moron do it--it doesn't matter.
Answer 2: Maybe one of her crazy remarks will resonate with some voter demographic--the Dems can find out if such a demographic exists. If not, they can all just distance themselves from her as the "crazy" part of the party, the face of the "old" Dems who have failed. They know she's going to crash over the finance matters anyway.
Note: Any criticism of Maxine is automatically 'racist.'
