What to watch: Cheney in trouble while Palin eyes comeback

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elections in Wyoming and Alaska on Tuesday could relaunch the political career of a former Republican star and effectively end the career of another — at least for now.

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney is the vice chair of a U.S. House committee seeking to expose the truth behind former President Donald Trump’s relentless efforts to stay in power after losing the 2020 election, and his role in fomenting the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Cheney’s determination to prevent Trump from ever again serving in the White House has left her fighting to hold on to the House seat she has held for three terms. Trump has made Cheney’s ouster a top priority, endorsing a challenger and traveling to Wyoming to try to seal the deal.

In Alaska, Sarah Palin jumped on a vacancy in the state’s congressional delegation as a potential springboard back into elected office. A victory in Tuesday’s special election to fill the remaining months of the late U.S. Rep. Don Young’s term could send her to Washington as soon as next month.

If she runs as a dem in the next election, she should be indicted for fraud for using RNC money to get elected in the last election or at least repay the RNC monies used.

Liz is going to run against Trump. Just to attack him.

RINO party did this “run the gamut” approach in 2016. Load up the field with some no chance at all types to weaken Trump. Run a Rubio as a “reasonable alternative candidate.”

Liz will run. Book it.

One of the podcasters I listen to read from some article that when Cheney started in congress, her net worth was around six million.
Today, it's around forty million.
She can afford to pay it back.

To make what you have identified permanent, the 17th Amendment needs to be repealed.

It is well past time to have a Convention of States to specifically repeal the 17th Amendment and eliminate the Senior Executive Service.

She'll be eliminated in the first debate.

Trump: "Liz, may I call you Liz? I ask because you look angry. You lost your own state bigly. Nobody liked you in Wyoming. All that hate you give you get back. America doesn't want you."

Kasich ran for the same purpose. There to beat up on Trump in the primaries paid for by the Uniparty.

They’ll find three or four others.

In what party? If she ran in the GOP primary after losing her house seat in disgrace, she'd be lucky to get 2%
