Representative Liz Cheney said early Wednesday that she was “thinking” about running for president in 2024, a prospect that would test the national viability of a conservative, anti-Trump platform that failed resoundingly in Wyoming.

Ms. Cheney — who lost her House primary by more than 35 percentage points on Tuesday to a challenger, Harriet Hageman, endorsed by former President Donald J. Trump — also announced the formation of a political action committee, the Great Task, that would educate Americans about threats to democracy and oppose any effort by Mr. Trump to return to the White House.

The committee filed a statement of organization with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday. Its name refers to the Gettysburg Address, in which President Abraham Lincoln said “the great task remaining before us” was to ensure “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

It's the NY Times front page featured story, but I have tagged it as an editorial because it is.

My reaction: Aw Hell no.

She’ll be like John Anderson in 1980.

You lost, Liz. Badly.

Just spare us and deal with it like a gracious loser.

I’m thinking about running too. I’ll let the media know when I’ve made my decision.

Wow! She hasn’t done any thinking in a long, long time. I imagine she’ll still be working on her J6 project in 2024 and beyond. She won’t have time to run for anything.

She just wants to be a destroyer of the United States.

It won’t be a problem at the nomination level, but it could be a problem if she runs as an independent. She only needs to draw off 1% of all votes to be a problem.

Someone gets 40k votes and they are all the rave in the national media. If you can’t tell your being used you shouldn’t ever hold any power. Lost by 36% because she lied about who she was and she wasn’t responsive to her constituents. In a representative republic its fascinating that the ones who are loved in D.C are the ones who least represent their constituents.

Agreed, only she is even LESS likable. She doesn't wear well. Does she yet realize that if her last name were Smith she would be a mid-level corporate manager who everyone disliked?

Cheney for President, because no one has thought of running on a platform of criticizing Donald Trump!

Wow - she’s surely going to steal some thunder from Mike Pence!

Is she going to run as the DNC candidate against Biden?

What’s her platform for the RNC going to be? Vote for me because Democrats like me and I did stuff like attack the party?

She WON'T be a problem at ANY level. Too much hatred at her from conservative Republican primary voters.
