I don’t think Cheney has a terminal case of stupidity. She knows the path she’s on and knows the likely electoral outcome.
At this point, she’s gonna go all out. There’s no turning back for her. There hasn’t been for some time now. But she is determined to go out kicking and screaming and try to drag Trump down further.
All of this also plays well to her likely post-Congress gig on MSNBC, CNN or Fox. Those are the people she’s talking to now - not the citizens of Wyoming.
All that is true, she has been so over the top and in your face, that she must have some sort of after election positioning in mind.
100 million bucks is quite a chunk to lose. Can't blame 'em for getting sore about that.
If they're honest, they'll blame themselves. George W. Bush had an extremely loyal base, but they felt double-crossed by his anti-American policies, e.g. refusing to secure the Mexican Border.
His photo-ops with the Clintons didn't help.
Neither did Barbara's snide comments about Sarah Palin.
Or her run as President or Mike Pences VP.
