Will Liz Cheney leave the republican party?

1. Now. She's going to be the face of the New/Old GO party.

[Dream Girl]

6. Yep.she's banking on 45's implosion by the time of the '24 primaries.

[TreasonousBastard]

2. And do what?

[triron]

3. What will she do if she doesn't?

[TreasonousBastard]

7. Well, she can't become a Democrat. Third parties are the way of political death. So that leaves...

her to wait it out until this Trumpian fever wears itself out.

[Ocelot II]

4. They are leaving her.

But Liz is playing a long game. She's evil like her dad, but she's not stupid.

[Irish_Dem]

5. Of course not. She sees herself as the Republican Party.

The rest are infidels.

The Cheneys have always had a very high opinion of themselves.
And felt they were above mere mortals.

8. Consider who her father is.

She would have a bad accident in a small plane before she would leave the Republican Party. I find it far more likely that she will call upon Daddy to marshal his (still considerable) resources of wealth and influence to enable her to fight off the crazies and gain a leadership position--and not just in Wyoming.

Being for fair elections doesn't automatically make you into an instant Democrat. Damn, how low has America sunk, that anyone even needs to point that out?

[triron]

13. Ya think?

[everyonematters]

9. I wouldn't be surprised if she and Romney ran third party ticket.

[Ocelot II]

11. I would. They consider themselves to be the *real* Republicans.

I think they are playing a long game, maybe just waiting for Trump to die.

10. Cheney voted with Trump and republicans 93% of the time. Erin Burnett on CNN reported this

She is GOP through and through.

[machoneman]

12. Never, never, NEVER!

[marble falls]

14. She'd never become a Democrat. Not ever. Not no way, no how.

[Deuxcents]

15. She's a brave Congresswoman

Are there no Congressmen to show some republican comradely with her? Some backbone?

[MontanaMama]

16. She's standing her ground now...

But she votes with the thugs 90+% of the time. She is not creative or clever enough to do anything different from what she’s doing now.

[Buckeyeblue]

17. I think it's more likely that the Trumpers end up forming a 3rd party

The midterms are going to be telling. Will traditional GOP donors get behind the Trump side of the party, or will they try to money starve them out?

I agree that Liz is playing a long game which makes me think she either knows something or had some suspicions.
