Thanks and for others interested, here is a free link to the story: nytimes.com/2025/12/29/mag…



.@DraperRobert I don't often read the @nytimes but was drawn to the headline for your feature on @RepMTG. Using the freebie, I read your article. It's a thorough, broad & balanced body of work - undoubtedly born from yrs of observation/research. Tempted to buy a subscription. nytimes.com/2025/12/29/mag…

I'm not keeping up with the MTG drama but is it fair to say that she has, in effect, done a complete 180 in her ideology -- not because she had an epiphany, but because Trump, in her view, dissed her? No matter how nasty someone is to someone else, why would that make them change their worldview, unless their worldview were totally tied up in a person rather than ideas, etc.? It's all so bogus and disgusting to me.
