Word has come out that the exiled Liz Cheney has lent her support to a candidate for the upcoming midterm election. Elissa Slotkin in Michigan has excitedly announced Liz will appear on her behalf on Tuesday. She might want to rethink this “big news”, as far as her campaign is concerned.
Cheney has been roundly booted from her post as a Republican representative of Wyoming, a thorough repudiation as she was an incumbent who suffered the worst primary defeat seen in generations. Cheney was dropped faster than a high school quarterback dropping Advanced Calculus in order to remain on the team, losing to her challenger by over 35 percentage points. Why any candidate would welcome that kind of toxic character is a mystery, but less mysterious is Cheney evolving into the prototypical True Conservative™.
Before her snuggling up to Slotkin, Cheney lent her political heft behind Katie Hobbs in Arizona. Clearly inspired by Kari Lake’s vocal support of Donald Trump, Cheney surprised no one when she gave voice to Lake’s opponent – and Hobbs promptly has begun to fade in the polls. Liz offers nothing to a Democrat – be they a candidate or a voter – but her endorsements are not about helping them win as it is bolstering her credentials with her new acolytes.
Cheney has established her Never Trump credentials already with her impotent January 6 Committee work, and now she is finishing her application with the True Conservative™ contingent by completing the last requirement. The foundational practice of those lecturing and hectoring anyone on the right is to boldly proclaim support for Democrats; Cheney is now simply awaiting her new ID card to be printed up.

The only thing she promotes is her own political ambitions.
To be fair, that describes most "conservatives" once they get to Washington.
Right, Senator Graham?
The worst thing from her perspective would be if Trump chose not to run in 2024. She has turned her entire political identity over being anti-Trump, and if there is no Trump, she has no home politically anywhere. Total irrelevancy.
RE: Liz Cheney and Karl Rove - as the Rev.? Jackson once said: “Stay outta da Bushes.”
She keeps digging that hole deeper and deeper.🤦🏼🤦🏼
My description of Liz Cheney rhymes with a baseball batting tactic.
It fits her perfectly
What else can you say. She’s a khunt.
She’s following in the tradition of the First True Conservative - William Kristol.
In Liz Cheney's case, she is trying to conserve her media attention.
The only thing she attempts to conserve is the globalist status quo.
Sour. Old. Frump.
The money, power and group-think in DC swamp are too great.
For someone like Cheney, she never had any values to begin with. Her family was steeped in the swamp for generations.
“What is a “conservative”? There is no objective standard.”
I’d say the first standard is reading Barry Goldwater’s The Conscience of a Conservative.
“I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is “needed” before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents’ “interests,” I shall reply that I was informed that their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can.”
As the Chief Marsupial of Nancy’s Kangaroo Kommittee, Liz needs to move on and take that job as spokesmodel for Dulcolax.
She is trying to conserve her family’s fortune…
Oh, yeah, and making America great is somehow a racist and seditious act. We live in such OrwellKafkaRodSerling times.
Cheney is a conservative like biden is a centrist.
I see what you did there.
