Primary all 145. When you can’t tell the difference between a Republican and a Democrat it’s time to look elsewhere.

Well, there you have it folks. Liz Cheney acted under orders from the syndicate bosses and they kept her in place. It's their party and they can do with it what they want. They can try to sell lies that they want your input and not just your time, votes, and money but only fools would believe that.

I'm not surprised they voted in secret and you can be damn sure they're all going to campaign (and solicit donations) as though they support President Trump.

That the congress has no clothes is bad enough, that they don't care everyone knows it is far worse.

I hate to be even more negative here, but if the people in our party (or what should be our party) cannot vote out a beech with 13% approval in her home state, it’s really, really, hard to see how they can even come close to stepping up to what’s needing to prevent this country from becoming Third World within 10 years.

...and, sadly, it’s no different regarding virtually all of the Republicans in Texas, Cruz included (of course).

But little old Marjorie Taylor Greene has no donor class backing, indeed she has nothing going for her except a message that resonates with the base as it resonated in her district to the tune of 75% of the voters.

The MAGA base has rallied solidly behind her. She is doing very well in the fund raising department thank you very much, having raised $160,000 in just one day, all of it from small donors, after the Dems started this "remove her from her committees" malarkey:

Marjorie Greene

I can't thank you all enough for the outpouring of support I've received today.

We've raised over $160,000 to send a message to the Democrat mob:

It's People over politicians.

I'm so honored to represent you, America First Patriots, in Congress.

THANK YOU!

Why? What’s the point? Honestly......why keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? Why? Why do people keep saying, “Let’s primary them next time....”?? As if the next person won’t be swallowed by swamp just like everyone else within the Republican (UNI)Party....insanity!!!

Trump must have forgot Willards speech dissing him before the 2016 election because he endorsed Willard in 2018.

Let’s just break down and accept the facts. As a conservative, you have no real representation in Congress right now. None. You have a choice between full-throttle Socialism and somewhat restricted Socialism, but that’s about it.

This episode confirms, once again, that McCarthy is untrustworthy.

And Cheney, likewise, is untrustworthy, continuing to push the Cheney family name further into the mud.

What a disgrace!

LIZ Cheney makes me sick. So many disgusting things going on . The FBI came to my friend’s house. She organized 7 busses that went to DC on Jan. 6.

President Trump for the most part put aside everything that was said in the primaries and that includes, Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Rubio etc. Everyone recognizes that primaries will e primaries. You attack your opponents. Biden was viciously attacked by some of the people he has in his cabinet like “bend-over” Pete.
However, voting to impeach a president from your own party is a different matter altogether.
Liz Cheney is dead woman walking. She's done. She will get the same thing that happened to Dem House leader Joe Crowley and GOP House Majority Leader Eric Cantor both of who lost their primaries to an angry electorate, despite the party establishments backing them to the hilt.

Don't worry. Liz Cheney will get the same thing that happened to Eric Cantor. Come 2022, we will be dancing over Liz Cheney's political grave.

There’s only one reason President Trump ever endorsed a candidate: He thought the candidate would win.

Even with Jeff Sessions, Trump was pretty much silent until a couple of weeks before the Alabama primary runoff when a poll came out showing Tuberville with a big lead. THEN it was safe for Trump to endorse him.

Go back over the last four years and do the research. The pattern is unmistakable. Trump will endorse a RINO who wins over a MAGA candidate who is a loser — every time.

.....how to solve a problem like Liz Cheney...? You run MAGA candidates in BOTH Dem and Pubbie primaries.
There are enough Donald Dems and a growing number of red-pilled lefties ......this shouldn’t be a problem......

I like it.

This helps me answer the question of who is going to stay under the Republican label, and who is going to leave to form a new party. Packing my stuff up now; there—finished, and ready to go!

“Supporting Greene and punishing Cheney would give the Democrats an even larger issue to use in the 2022 elections. There is nothing to do with Cheney that can’t be solved in the next Republican primary, so concentrate on that.”
________________________________________________________

No one needs to give the Democrats an issue. They are highly adept at manufacturing their own issues out of thin air and at massive expense to us—have you heard of the alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election and a man named Robert Mueller? The Republicans in the House should have removed Cheney from her leadership position to teach all REPUBLICANS that our party will not tolerate nor reward RINO behavior going forward. Now the corrupt media will make a heroine of Cheney and a villian out of Marjorie Taylor Greene when the very opposite is the case.

The cowards voted in secrecy. They have a yellow streak down their spines and they think we will attribute it to a liver disorder. They are fools.

They will just put up several no name candidates in the primary to split the anti Cheney vote and put a ton of money in her campaign for media buys to blanket the state with her name, conservatism, and down home values. This is how they keep their seats despite the base voters. No the real solution is not to play the game. Leave the Republican party where your not welcome anyway and start a new party. To those who say stay in the Republican party and try to reform it ,well we’ve tried and the GOPe games the system to stay in power every time. Can anyone say Senator Murkowski? We need to move on because they work against the base voter expect for Jim Jordan, Rand Paul and a few others. Take it from an Ohio Republican voter, Republicans like to tell you their on your side and take your money and votes then conspire with the Democrats to enact the very polices that your opposed to because that’s what the donor money wants. Look at the Republicans and the way they have acted in the last 5 years and ask yourself “ What have they done if anything to show that their on my side?”
