Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-Wyo.) comment that she will not be a Republican if former President Trump wins the party’s 2024 presidential nomination is sparking chatter that she might mount an independent White House run.

While Cheney lost her House primary to the former president’s endorsed candidate last month, her break with the MAGA wing of the GOP has made her the leader of the anti-Trump movement among Republicans and beyond.

Yep

[Churchillspirit]

How sad. Once upon a time Bush/Cheney was a good sign.

[Dr. Sivana]

She would likely split the GOPers more, and do the full Perot.

Nope. Completely different animals. She mirrors John B. Anderson (1980, 7% Independent) MUCH more than Perot in terms of political profile, style and voter appeal.

>>> Actually, in my neck of the woods, it’s rumored that Cheney has applied for a job scraping road kills off highways. She barely has the qualification met.<<<

Well, a fat pig … er … a girl gots to eat, right?

[elpadre]

when is the deadline to get on the ballot?? Many states have early voting already and the ballots are printed.

[cowboyusa]

Yes

Yeah, a real ‘leader’ who got primaried out of a seat that she held for six years. I have to ask, how and why did she rise so far so fast in the Republican House leadership?

[kiryandil]

This is just another patented Cheney grift.

She'll collect the campaign funds as a payoff from the Uniparty for leading the fauxPublican Resistance against Trump.

At least Karl Rove would have a job raising money. He’s as disgusting as Liz.

[Captain Peter Blood]

They all talk big on that kind of stuff, ask Bloomberg on that, he spent at least $1 Billion and never got anywhere. She will not either, no group of donors are going to pony up hundreds of millions for her. She has no support and Democrats will just give her lip service.

[Captain Peter Blood]

He dropped out running for Governor of Texas and now he thinks he can run for President, what a joke, who is next Alec Baldwin???????????

[Right Brother]

I see what you did there. 😁

[samadams2000]

Most Americans fuel a cheney every morning but that doesn’t mean she should run for Exrcrement.

[Songcraft]

There she goes again!

Finally and Indy who takes away rat votes

[mass55th]

ROFL!! Too funny!!

[Dr. Sivana]

Actually, in my neck of the woods, it’s rumored that Cheney has applied for a job scraping road kills off highways.

I think your rumor is slightly off. She was offered to play the part of roadkill. She's now experienced at it.

Dizzy Lizzy’s 15 minutes has almost run out.

Enjoy your slide into obscurity, Ditz!

[Sarah Barracuda]

[BigEdLB]
