HEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney was increasingly open on Wednesday about considering a 2024 presidential campaign after soundly losing a Republican primary to a challenger backed by former President Donald Trump.
Speaking to NBC in the wake of her loss, the third-term congresswoman called Trump “a very grave threat and risk to our republic,” and said defeating him will require “a broad and united front of Republicans, Democrats and independents — and that’s what I intend to be part of.”
She declined to say if she would run for president but conceded it’s “something that I’m thinking about.”
The primary results — and the more than 35-point margin of her defeat — were a powerful reminder of the GOP’s rapid shift to the right. A party once dominated by national security-oriented, business-friendly conservatives like her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, now belongs to Trump, animated by his populist appeal and, above all, his denial of defeat in the 2020 election.

She should learn to code.
You think Paul Gosar and Jim Jordan are part of the swamp?
No. I already am stuck debugging enough badly written code by others, as it is.
>>She got 0 chance of being President.<<
Don’t say that too loudly — if Biden can be POTUS, anyone can.
No exceptions. Stop with this imagining that anyone who spends 10 years in politics is in ANY way admirable. They are scum. Deserving of your contempt, not admiration.
They are not wise. They are not leaders. They are scum. Parasites. They are supposed to represent their voters and SHOULD NOT BE PAID FOR THAT. They are swilling at the trough.
If she runs Indie and tries to split the dif between the parties, "triangulation" if you will, she'll be relegated to the Jeb-Kasich-Romney back bench. The electorate is more polarized than ever, nobody wants a moderate. And nobody wants another Perot.
In any debate forum, what will she say when she's asked what are the duties and responsibilities to constituents of House Members? Stated another way, "how on earth can any (any) voting citizen ever trust you"?
If she tries to appear as a genuine Conservative? Thanks anyway, we already have two excellent front runners.
Other than some qualified and temporary cheerleading from WaPo and NYT (and WSJ), she's got nothing, except an astonishingly humiliating primary election loss to which she would be a better person if she chose ownership.
Nothing says, “I should run for President!” like a 69% BUTT-STOMPING in a House seat election when you were the typically-favored INCUMBENT!
I gave up that lucrative career, too dang early!!
But, in all fairness, I didn’t know companies were going to start hiring anyone who knew how to BASICALLY spell the word “code”.
Yep, that’s precisely the NeverTrumpers’ plan. They’ve given up an establishment hack winning the GOP nomination, knowing those days are over. All they can do now is support a spoiler running as and Ind., and hope to siphon just enough votes in swing states to make election stealing easier.
I think she have a better chance of being the pope before becoming the president!
Fishing for Democrat donations
When Liz compared herself to Lincoln, I thought to myself ... how appropriate - Lincoln is dead and so is she.
SARAH PALIN for Speaker of the House!
There already is a united front of Assistant Democrats (R) and Democrats against Trump. There may also be some broad involved at the forefront, but it won't be you Lizzie.
Liz Cheney can go to HE((, and take her father with her.
Dick proved his quality as a man when he recently stated that
President Donald J Trump, is a danger to our country.
Dick backed the loser GW Bush, who was a true danger to our country.
Liz’s planning to be a spoiler is not only delusional, it is unspeakable.
The folk of Wyoming have spoken. “Liz, we think that you have had your 15 minutes. Now ESAD!”
All of the congress critters are crooked. They are forced to take bribes and cheat to become multimillionaires by their fellow congress critters. All, being crooks, will not turn on the others. If she only has 30 million in three terms, she is not liked enough to be given more.
She’s nuts. Will Anthony Wiener be her running mate. He failed to become mayor real good.
