2. Trump can only be EFFECTIVELY attacked "from the inside."

As much as I love Gavin Newsom's spot-on, fearless trolling, I'd say it has zero affect on Republicans, especially MAGAts.

Greene "was" one of Trump's most prominent cheerleaders. She may not break him single-handedly, but she's going to get MUCH more attention in Trumpland than a Democrat taking well-aimed shots at him.

I think we'd be the same, right? Republicans talk trash about us 24/7, the whole "Democrat Party" thing, but if one of our own...and I'm not talking about a Joe Manchin or Kirsten Synema, but an actual dyed-in-the-wool Democrat...started mouthing off, we would most likely go "What's up with THIS?" So it remains to be seen how much traction she'll gain, but I doubt she'll just be ignored by Republicans. He breaking ranks is "news."
