The Associated Press ^ | October 27, 2022 | By THOMAS BEAUMONT

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney on Thursday endorsed and plans to campaign for Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, the first time that the critic of former President Donald Trump who lost her GOP primary has crossed party lines to formally support a Democrat.

Slotkin is competing against Republican state Sen. Tom Barrett in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District. Their race is considered a toss-up by both sides and one of the Republicans’ chief targets in their campaign to win the House majority on Nov. 8.

That’s the kiss of political death, most likely.

What about party loyalty, Liz? Without it, politics becomes not a debate over grand ideas and principles but a free for all based on spite and personal vendettas. There is wisdom in the admonition of Benjamin Disraeli to a wayward Tory: “Damn your principles! Stick to your party.”

Exactly. I care only about kicking her out.

But it is sad that this race is close. I guess many Michiganders like the shytstorm that is the Biden regime.

Because a woman (term loosely used) who lost her primary by 58 points is so popular with the masses.

Then there are those that argue:

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

“There’s more to it than how they vote.

The number of “Rs” in the Senate (and House) determines who controls the agenda, and the partisan makeup of the committees.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yeah, it’s so important that RINOs make up our committees, taking seats real Republicans should be holding, not more Democrats.

I think Liz is still auditioning for a job with MSNBC. She has to bend over backwards, to show how she will support Democrats against “evil” Trumpian Republicans. This will make her overlords at MSNBC happy.

Never forget, Michigan Democrats and Democrat Governor made it a crime to buy gardening seeds and plants.

Early career
Slotkin while serving in the Obama administration

Slotkin was recruited into the Central Intelligence Agency after graduate school. Fluent in Arabic and Swahili, she served three tours in Iraq as a CIA analyst. During the George W. Bush administration, she worked on the Iraq portfolio for the National Security Council. During Barack Obama’s presidency, she worked for the State Department and the Department of Defense.[7] Slotkin was acting assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs from 2015 to 2017.[9]

After leaving the Defense Department in January 2017, Slotkin moved back to her family’s farm in Holly, where she owned and operated Pinpoint Consulting.[10] Since 2019, she has served on the Transatlantic Task Force of the German Marshall Fund and the Bundeskanzler-Helmut-Schmidt-Stiftung.[11]

I find it comforting to think that this self-absorbed, Trump-obsessed loser is very slowly, but very surely, realizing that absolutely no one cares.

She never was a Republican.
At last, we found the primary infiltrator on the West Coast who fed all the GOP insider info directly to the RATS.
I’d be willing to bet it was Liz working with Rove who came up with the Fake Dossier idea.
Liz passed it to McCain and he gave it to the FBI.
Liz probably got Flake to flake and then resign.

I never thought McCain was smart enough to pull this off.
Liz, Rove and their connections in the FBI-CIA could easily pull it off.
