Hessmania Forever
I've watched her over the past few months. She reminds me of a less (far less) eloquent William Jennings Bryan, the Great Commoner who ran for President on the Democratic ticket three times between 1896 and 1908. She's never going to go with the full Bryan platform, but she's a populist in somewhat the same sense in that she hates Wall Street, hates international intervention, and (in her case) while not a big government advocate, she believes what government there is should work for the common people (hence her point on the Affordable Care Act subsidies). I'm not an MJT supporter (particularly on social issues, but again, it's important to remember that William Jennings Bryan was on the prosecutorial team for the Scopes Monkey Trial), but she's probably more America First than Trump ever was and ever will be.
I don't think she wants national office. I see her trying to become a bit more responsible in her rhetoric (Nancy Mace is going the other way after trying to pass herself off as Miss Moderate Barbie) and playing a larger role in policy development on her side of the aisle. She'll likely be in Congress as long as she wants and distancing herself from some of the Trump/HRCC stances protects her back home.
