28. Let's just say she wins
As an independent, as she says she will be:

She would be a freshman with no power and no influence. She would have no committee assignments because you have to caucus with one of the major parties to get a committee assignment. If she knocks off Pelosi, the Democrats will want nothing to do with her, so she will have no committee assignments, and no ability to influence the legislative process save for making speeches in front of an empty House chamber at 1AM, and casting lone roll call votes out of 435 members.

And does she have positions on other issues other than the war? The war is not the only issue in American politics today.
