The video was released Thursday by Rep. Cheney’s reelection campaign, two weeks before a Republican primary election in Wyoming that the three-term congresswoman is bracing to lose. Echoing the criticism his daughter has made of Trump, Dick Cheney denounced him as a danger to the country through his relentless lies about the legitimacy of the 2020 election.

Dick Cheney comes across as a petulant, immature old-man trying to protect a daughter

Brings to mind:
Truman's defense of his daughter's singing

Presidential candidate Muskie's tears because of an unflattering item published about his wife

Senate voter pools are the entire State. So you need a candidate who appeals to most voters.

Then your logic should apply at the presidential level.

The level of infighting (even on FreeRepublic) is something I've never seen before,

Seriously?

There have been some major battles on FR that resulted in major purges of some factions. Those especially seem to happen during presidential election cycles.

Liz running 3rd party would garner less that 1-percent of the popular vote

But it might make the difference in a few swing states, like Nader did in 2000.

Even if Liz Cheney loses and leaves the house, I guarandamn tee you that she’ll get a nice, cushy job at one of the Alphabet opinion channels.

And Liz doesn’t care about winning, she just wants to run to make Trump lose.

I was banned here for two years for opposing these disgusting people and their path to citizenship

Anybody remember the Bush adoration society

I mean so many

So gullible

After the 2004 election and GW's sharp turn toward the left, I started using the term 'bushbot' in posts. It drove the bushies wild. It is only trolling if they bite.

A State voting pool of a few million pales to a national voting pool of 150 million.

The Presidential election goes through multiple rounds of primaries. Trump was not a moderate and he won. Obama was NOT a moderate and he won. Presidential elections depend on many factors other than ideology (wealth, physical attractiveness, family). It's a popularity contest.

Trump was a lifelong NYC Democrat. There is no disputing that. Yet he was able to use his money and PR expertise to convince millions of people that he was their Conservative Savior. True ideology matters little in a national election, it seems.

Oh. ?? Dick Cheney the Torturer in Chief? Evil Sith Lord Darth Vader? That Dick Cheney?

Leftists all love the Dark One now, do t they? On Morning Jo today the adjectives from the queer punditry was : Wow! Powerful! Gravitas! The Author of Shock and Awe! The Elder Statesman!

They love him now like they loved Trump before Trump beat Granny PIAPS

You’ve yet to answer why a “moderate” presidential candidate can’t win, but a “moderate” senator can. How does the voting pool work in favor of the senator at a state level? If anything, states are more ideologically unique.

Let’s hope WY has learned a lesson about the Cheneys and the Simpsons too.

I wonder if Lynne Cheney has also gone hard left. She was a “conservative” talking on CNN more than 20 years ago.

Coward, Dick? I guess if you want wars, you don’t put in a PEACEKEEPER as president. You put in cowards who will let others get wounded or killed...

Huh? The Cheney “war machine” must not have prospered under Trump’s leadership. Gotta kill them brown people in the Middle East in order to keep the ruling class fat and happy you know. Guess the Ukrainians and Russians are not providing enough death and destruction to fill the Cheney family coffers and desires. Dick is just another old fool circling the drain waiting to be flushed to hell.
