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.

“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.”

“John Boehner and Paul Ryan also raised money for Cheney earlier this year.”

I already knew that Dubya was a treacherous POS back in 1994. Nothing he does surprises me.

Is Hannity still palling around with Karl Rove?

A couple times a week.

Hannity is either too stupid to know what Bush League Republicans are up to or he’s playing his audience.

I don’t mind Liz Cheney still being involved with the republican party....is there a janitor job we can give her... Whatever the job she gets it will have to be one where she is highly supervised and interacting with the public is out of the Question for safety issues.

Jeb Bush raised lots of cash but failed miserably.

Wyomingites are pretty darn independent. I don't think that seat can be bought.

With the way Liz is behaving during this backstabbing incident, how much do you think the Left is going to trust her.

She is a viper, a snake, an ice cold rat.

Just look at her eyes.

“...Harriet Hageman, a Trump-backed primary challenger”

That right there is enough for me. Time to start funding the opposition.

GOPe/Uniparty hack never ever should have been in leadership. Only was because of who her daddy is… represents the worst of the swamp in every way…

Arrogant to her constituents no intent on actually representing them, just promoting herself…

Her future be those “elders” trying to prop her up is that they need gone….

The GOPe is so far removed from the base and he people that they all need purged.. Uniparty and globalist hacks should have no home in the future of the GOP

I don’t know where someone like her would win because any Democrats who remember the Iraq war surely wouldn’t vote for a neocon.

My guess is it’s a combination of the two. He’s definitely not very bright but he also curries favor with GOP insiders.
