Bobbie and Bill Kilberg were expecting a few dozen people for their fundraiser Monday for GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, an intimate cocktail party they were planning at their home in McLean, Virginia.

But in the weeks since the Republican National Committee voted to censure Cheney for her involvement in the ongoing House select committee investigation of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, the couple was flooded with requests to come and meet the congresswoman and the event's special guest, Utah GOP Sen. Mitt Romney.

So many people RSVP'd yes that Monday's event was moved to another, larger venue. The Kilbergs finally had to cap the list of co-hosts when it hit 75.

The donor interest isn't all for Cheney's reelection bid for her House seat in Wyoming. More than two full years before the 2024 election, Cheney is emerging as the anti-Trump champion, and plenty of Republicans are glad to see it.

"We are moving beyond Donald Trump," Bobbie Kilberg told CNN. "Enough, already. Enough's enough."

Kilberg and other allies insist Cheney remains focused on her reelection to the House this year, which includes a daunting primary challenge from her onetime adviser Harriet Hageman. Trump has endorsed Hageman, who has all but cleared the field of Republican challengers, and defeating Cheney remains one of the former President's top priorities in the midterm cycle.

But several Republicans have said it's not out of the question she could seek the GOP nomination for president if Trump runs again.

"Would it surprise me? Not even in the slightest," said Landon Brown, a state representative in Wyoming and one of the few elected Republicans there publicly backing Cheney in the primary.

Anyone buying this tripe, really needs to stay out of political
debate. There is not a tiny bit of a chance she is going to be
our nominee in 2024, even if Trump should not make it until
then.

This is embarrassing to anyone who has a freakin clue.

[Big Giant Head]

75 = “flooding.”

okay, then. No way Trump can win now, right?

[colorado tanker]

Wyo Republicans finally seem moving to get their act together. So, I doubt she can even win reelection to Congress.

[thinden]

How many were from her hubby’s law firm

[libh8er]

So what colored pants do you advocate wearing ? Red and Blue for the Russian flag ? Shame. Shame.

[lurk]

Old school RINOs live in a small bubble.

[Nifster]

You mean the Bushites

[ex91B10]

Would not doubt if it is true. There are powerful sources who despise PDJT and will do whatever it takes to defeat him.

[nvcdl]

Barbara Comstock & Bobbie Kilberg are the type of RINOs the Republicans in NoVa run and then then wonder why they lose.

[Jim Noble]

Right - she’s the future of the party, that’s the ticket

You're being sarcastic, but you are accidentally telling the truth.

[hinckley buzzard]

Well, as “Bobbie Kilberg” found out, a pile of sh&t attracts a whole bunch of flies.

[hinckley buzzard]

There is precedent. Al Gore failed to carry his home state of Tennessee in 2000.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Neither.

[FlingWingFlyer]

CNN. Amerika’s Fake News Headquarters!

[TygertLane]

Republican donors line up behind Dominion. She’ll win by 1%.

[Fido969]

This is just a big grafty payoff for her. Everyone knows she can’t win.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ll bet she has received more money from the liberal ‘RAT “democracy” mob than she has Republicans.

[FLT-bird]

Go ahead RINOs. Pour all your money into her campaign. LOL!

[elpadre]

conservatives need to “lean” on the donors

The Republican Guard Prepares Offensive Weapons Against MAGA Influence – The Right Wing of the National UniParty Begins Assembling

March 14, 2022 | Sundance | 186 Comments

With the Sea Island professionally Republican convention completed we now enter that time in Republican politics where the people who assembled for the gathering begin to seed the next election narrative.   The timing is not coincidental, yet few people pay attention, that’s where we come in.

The backstory on last week’s Sea Island meeting IS HERE.  We all know these people, though sometimes we can be distracted by their Machiavellian schemes and manipulations.  Exactly on cue, the Associated Press steps up to deliver the advanced revelations of the quiet discussion:

(VIA AP) –  Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan is planning trips to Iowa and New Hampshire. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., is considering a rough timeline for a potential presidential announcement. And allies of Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are openly talking up her White House prospects.

More than two years before the next presidential election, a shadow primary is already beginning to take shape among at least three fierce Republican critics of former President Donald Trump to determine who is best positioned to occupy the anti-Trump lane in 2024.

Their apparent willingness to run — even if Trump does, as is widely expected — represents a shift from previous years when “Never Trump” operatives failed to recruit any GOP officeholders to challenge the incumbent president. But with the 2024 contest almost in view, the question is no longer whether one of Trump’s prominent Republican critics will run, but how many will mount a campaign and how soon they will announce.

Those close to Cheney, Hogan and Kinzinger expect one of them, if not more, to launch a presidential bid after the 2022 midterms. While all three are nationally known to some degree, their goal would not necessarily be to win the presidency. Above all, they want to hinder Trump’s return to the White House, at least compared with 2020, when his allies cleared the field of any Republican opponents and persuaded some states to cancel primary contests altogether.

“It’s there as an option, but it’s not necessarily because this is all some big plan so I can be in the White House,” Kinzinger told The Associated Press when asked about his timeline for deciding on a presidential run. “It’s looking and saying, ‘Is there going to be a voice out there that can represent from that megaphone the importance of defending this country and democracy and what America is about?’ There certainly, I’m sure within the next year or so, will be a point at which you have to make a decision.

“If it’s not me doing anything, certainly we’ll be all in for whoever can represent us,” Kinzinger said.  (read more)

Look, let’s cut through the bulls**t, because time is of the essence,and I have far too much respect for you to play the pretend game. 

View that Associated Press article for the reality that it represents.

We all know the DC political system is fully aligned against We The People. 

We are the threat to them.  The ordinary citizens of this great nation are the elements of society they must control in order to retain their illusions, power and influence.

There is only one overarching political party in Washington DC, and it is made up of two wings, Democrats and Republicans.  As voters enter the 2022 mid-term cycle, the aspect that matters to the DC UniParty is their ability to influence who we select as candidates for the November election.

Despite their earnest efforts, there is still a framework of a voting system that runs adverse to their interests.  To the extent that free thinking people can vote independently, the voting public will always be viewed as a threat.  Mitigating that threat is their primary objective right now.  THAT is the big takeaway from the Sea Island conference that just concluded.

The goal is always the same, protect the business operations in Washington DC at all costs.  With the 2022 election year upon us, and with the primary season starting soon, the GOPe wing of the UniParty must share and discuss their strategic defense initiatives.

People used to call this the “establishment” Republicans, but really, that’s too generic a word for what they do.  These are the deceptive elites – the lying, conniving, scheming bastards. They represent the vile pus at the bottom of a lanced boil from a rotting blue whale carcass that can stink an entire city.

They call themselves conservatives, hence “DeceptiCons” gets the specificity of their intent.

Engage deliberately.

Let’s roll…
