Or are borderline drama queens the whole idea?

Alarming that to voters these people must pass some normalcy test for what they want in a Congressional Representative.

not Congress. With any luck her political career will be over at this level - apparently even the local Republicans don’t want anything to do with her. (It helps to read the linked article)

She tweeted a response:

The
@GOP

@GOPMNCD3
is not interested in winning candidates who have the kahunas to create real change. They are interested in grifting and wasting time.
This is why CD3 Chair, Randy Sutter, was telling people to take my signs down after we made it through the 4/30 primary.

What an idiot. It's cajones, not kahunas. And I don't think they endorsed county candidates at the 4/30 convention. The primaries aren't until August.
