Cheney on primary day.

Wyoming congresswoman Elizabeth Cheney has become the darling of Democrats and their anti-Trump media allies. The Economist portrays her as the Gary Cooper character in the film High Noon, as if she were a lone, principled marshal battling the evil Frank Miller (substitute Donald Trump) and his evil associates.
In May of this year, Cheney was given a John F. Kennedy "Profile in Courage" award and praised by CNN's Chris Cillizza.
Liberal, pro-Democrat media outlets like The Guardian, NPR, Politico, Axios, Mediaite, the Washington Post, The Atlantic, the New York Times, and many others portray Cheney as an American hero attempting to save the republic from the evil designs of Trump and his supporters.
Cheney has won the praise of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Reps. Jamie Raskin, Bennie Thompson, Steny Hoyer, and Jim McGovern, along with other Democrats. She basks in the praise of those who once demonized her father as the evil architect of George W. Bush's wars.
Some liberals aren't buying it, however. The New Republic doesn't trust Dick Cheney or his daughter. Dick Cheney, Jacob Silverman wrote last year, is a "war criminal who helped make torture, black sites, and other illegal acts a routine part of American foreign policy." As for Liz Cheney, her interests may align with Democrats for now, he wrote, but the Cheney family, Liz included, has "done tremendous damage to human rights." Meanwhile, over at The Intercept, Ryan Grim called Liz a "leading booster of her father's war" who "has shown no remorse or reflection over the U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan."
Liz Cheney must have a short memory or a forgiving heart, for she glows in the praise of the same Democrat-media establishment that condemned her father, Dick Cheney, as a warmonger (Rolling Stone), "a self-aggrandizing criminal"

Hunger for power gut to her.
How about some conservatives...
I am beginning to wonder what is going on in liberals minds - are they trying to get Pence and Cheney as ways to save the deomocrats from themselves?
I have always thought that she had a “DAddy” problem.
She’s quite nicely loathed as her own person.
Can Lizard be viewed in a mirror?
Exactly what I was thinking, I don’t even see the point of this piece.
Maybe my mind forgets but she seems far more left than her father was, and he was a neocon.
Cheney on primary day.
Escape?
Liz is being thrown out, mind, body and soul. She is unfit to represent Wyoming and like dish water is being discarded.
Perhaps Liz Cheney does not WANT to escape from the shadow of her father. In a twisted sort of way, it is - comforting.
Dick was the calm type. Lynn was more outspoken but knew her place. Liz is the sum of their parts.
“Can Liz Cheney really escape the shadow of her father?”
Heck...Liz Cheney can’t even ensure HER own shadow.
The “shadow of her father” isn’t her problem - she is her own problem.
That says it all.
There’s nothing wrong with her that a chanbe of party won’t fix
Never trust someone who betrays their own party. Because they will betray the next, that’s what they do.
Perhaps her goal is to be a bigger Dick than her father.
Once they determine she is no longer useful, all progs will flush her from existence in a similar manner that Willie Brown discarded a condom after a romp with Kamalho
Which would be easier, Liz Cheney escaping the shadow of her father or Ashley Biden escaping the shower from her father?
