She has become more identified with the Palestinian territories than with her Detroit-based 12th District.

    The hand ringing around Tlaib is in her support to Palestinians and opposition to Israel. While I don't 100% support her position on it, it is nice to see someone in the government with a different opinion on that matter. Given her district, I don't think that stance is going to cost her votes. Her seat is safe even with an Israeli PAC offering $20M to anyone to run against her.

      Totally possible. Actually, with the coming out regarding the offers of paid opposition, it may even strengthen her position.

      Politics is truly a distasteful (but lucrative) occupation.
