Don't know what drove MTG's or Boebert's or Mace's defiance of Trump.

That said, I do know what it's like when the police arrive and their first question is, "What were you wearing?"

Trump tried to prevent her from running for the senate. She didn't like it and got mad.

I like how Jasmine Crockett offered support and a helping hand. AOC was unnecessarily in attack mode.

Following a pResident that is a total failure will matter on election day..... By election day, they don't want to be associated with condoning pedophilia, cutting healthcare and not being able to afford health care, starving Americans, and the shutdown will continue to have a ripple effect...

This is just for starters off the top of my head....Don't be fooled now...I answered the question addressing their rationale for being opposed to tRump.... These tow must not be trusted....yet, at the moment, the enemy of my enemy is my friend ....sort of....

They lack the true empathy to do their job and serve the people...

So far all they voted for was to bring it to the floor for a vote.
