You're claiming she'll be the GOP candidate for POTUS in 2024.

That's utterly laughable.

And her name is NOT a plus.

She's done. Toast.

She would be stuck around 1% in the polls.

Explain to me WHO would actually vote for her?

In the GOP Trump holds like a 90% approval rating. Trumpists hate Liz Cheney.

Not a chance, not even a little one. Put it this way... I have a better shot at Lotto than Liz does as POTUS.

The GOP will have a trump clone that will run in the primary and win. Wyoming gave Cheney a chance due to her father. That’s over. The bush Cheney name is hated under trump cult members.

like Cheney, and Romney will be too old to present a "sensible face." also that guy Flake in Ariz, who stepped back as the wacko's took over the party. Of course all conservatism is built on inequality and oppression so to me they are all equally insane, there are a few other who were rising names who stepped back as the MAGATS took over.

generation to excise Trumpism, and they may never get there.

Another possibility is the Republican establishment will move to the next thing, but the insane magats will cling to their orthodoxy and turn away from someone like Cheney. She’s forever tainted to them, and they won’t have a reason to vote*.

* unless they turn out for local magats who are running.

** and they don’t replace American democracy with a new authoritarian system.

She has no chance in 2024, DeSantis will crush her and everyone else. I don't see them bombing in 2022 either, I see them likely taking the House.

The GOP had a strong 2020 and they'll repeat their strategy. They nearly won the House and kept the Senate with the world's largest boat anchor on the ballot.
