Washington Post and MSNBC contributor Washington Post and MSNBC contributor Jonathan Capehart compared Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and former President Trump to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader in "Star Wars" on Friday.
Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks appeared on "PBS News Hour" with Judy Woodruff to discuss various topics, including Cheney's upcoming primary.
Brooks called Cheney "a hero," but noted she is behind her Republican challenger by more than 22 percent and likely to lose her seat. That's when Capehart praised her as comparable to a beloved Jedi.
"And, look, I keep thinking about the scene in ‘Star Wars: Episode IV,’ when Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi are battling it out on the Death Star. And Obi-Wan says to Darth Vader, ‘If you strike me down, I will come back more powerful than you can imagine,’" Capehart said. He explained, "And, to me, Liz Cheney is Obi-Wan Kenobi. If she loses, which she very well might lose her primary on August 16, she could very well come back more powerful than Donald Trump has imagined. And if her goal is to ensure that he never comes within any manner of feet of the Oval Office, if she can succeed in doing that, she will have done a major service to the American experiment."

Costner’s home is, unfortunately, in Colorado. I don’t think he’ll be voting in Wyoming.

You are also right. Why did she run an ad with him then? She could have just as easily gotten Mork and Mindy if she wanted Colorado.

Her next gig will be aboard the SS RINO on a cruise of the Cayman Islands- it’s the SOS (Save Our Swamp) Tour! Other crew members, who are totally-still-relevant-and-not-at-all-washed-up formerly prominent Republicans, include Jeb! as Your Ship’s Purser, Megan McCain as your Cruise Director, Adam Kinzinger as Your Bartender, and Jeff Flake as That Creepy Guy at the Swim Up Bar Who Keeps Asking for Your Cabin Number.
Come join Your Captain, Billy “Liver Lips” Kristol for a fun-filled cruise of plotting coups, playing darts (with our new Donald Trump dartboards), and being entertained by comedy duo Geraldo Rivera and Pierre Delecto.

Well, I think Mork is dead but, uh, my guess is she couldn’t find anyone in Wyoming to shill for her.
A little surprising considering the celebrity refugees living in Jackson Hole. :)

It probably took the little dork all week to write that and practice it in front of the mirror - dressed in his stormtrooper outfit.

“If she loses, which she very well might lose her primary on August 16, she could very well come back more powerful than Donald Trump has imagined.” More likely she'll be like Hillary, and plot against him with no ethical constraints - as she is doing now.
Ironically, if she were running for the presidency against a democrat the left would paint her as Satan.
