Vilified by Trump, Liz Cheney explores her political future with backing from GOP elders
cnn.com ^ | 12/14/21 | Michael Warren

Liz Cheney is going to New Hampshire. She's getting her political operation in order. And she's raising money like mad from icons of the Republican Party.

The Wyoming congresswoman is clearly exploring her political options and power well beyond her congressional district, even if she's not talking openly about a run for president.

"I've never had a conversation with her about 2024," said Eric Edelman, a former ambassador, Pentagon official and adviser to former Vice President Dick Cheney. "If there was going to be a Never Trump candidate, I can't think of anyone better."

Eight months after she voted to impeach Donald Trump, Cheney continues to be one of the party's most vocal critics of the former President and his hold on the Republican Party. The three-term House member has also said she would do "whatever it takes" to prevent Trump from becoming president again and has not closed the door on running for the White House herself.

Cheney's immediate political goal, however, is to retain her House seat from Harriet Hageman, a Trump-backed primary challenger. To help, she is marshaling the forces of the pre-Trump GOP establishment.

On October 18, former President George W. Bush will attend a fundraiser for Cheney in Dallas, co-hosted by former US Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and top Bush campaign aides Karl Rove and Karen Hughes.

Former Republican House Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan also raised money for Cheney earlier this year. And on top of that, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sens. Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney have all donated to Cheney through their respective political action committees.

I’d bet that woman is the spiritual mother of all the “Karens” we must endure today.

Apparently, I am the only person on Free Republic who does not want Trump to get back in the White House, but I want a Ted Cruz or a Ron DeSantos. Liz Cheney is wasting our time. The sooner that branch of Republicans gets out the way, the better.

“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Sens. Lindsey Graham and Mitt Romney have all donated to Cheney through their respective political action committees.”

Let’s keep her around and encourage her to run every 4 years just so our enemies keep revealing themselves...

If nothing else good comes out of the 2022 election cycle, her complete and resounding defeat would be fine with me.

From the NY Post a while back:

Bush League Republicans, aka Assistant Democrats.

We MUST make them extinct.

That is most of the GOP Senators and well over half of the GOP House members.

Poll: Trump leads 2024 Republican Primary by 58 Points

I cannot vote for Trump in any primary, because a primary is about selecting the person. As a person Donald Trump is a lying no class jackass.

However in the general election the choice is really about what party you want to govern so I would have to support any Republican over and Democrat.

If party elders are backing her, that’s all you need to know about the party.
