6. She's like an obedient school kid sitting in class with her hands folded.

Nov 7

Every time I watched CSPAN and saw here sitting there, THAT was my perception of her (and since she was originally in the leadership group, she would sit at one of the tables at the front of the GOP side in the chamber, with her hands folded).

She figured she had checked off all the boxes to get a good position in 45's 2nd term, managed to snag one, then THAT got snatched from her (after she was apparently ready to move into the set-aside Waste. Fraud. Abuse. monstrous Manhattan digs that 45 obtained for the government during his first term), and that whole dream job went poof when Johnson convinced 45 to nix it.

You could see she was going bye bye when she put her D.C. home up for sale in September.
