(6,265 posts)her because of her political stance on important issues such as abortion and many others but I do respect her truths about her current Party affiliation with maggats...
She could run as 3rd party hurting the Dems more, but I think by then IQ 45 will be more concerned about trying to hide in his cell.

Republicans are not going to want her, and we democrats have some strong grievances against her I know I do she celebrated the end Roe. She voted in lock step with trump 93% of the time.
Liz Chaney is no hero, she's just a broken clock that was right twice.

(28,817 posts)That was a real human. Not the harsh Republican she is too.
As Raskin or someone said, Liz I cant wait to go back to disagreeing with everything you say. Until then
.Thanks!

(8,084 posts)That our right to choose when we put our life on the line is taken away, by people she helped put on the supreme Court.
I can acknowledge that she did a few good things, she voted to impeach trump, and she has been doing an incredible job on the January 6th committee.
But at the end of the day she's still not someone I would want to play with on the playground.
Because no matter how bad Donald Trump is now and how criminal he is, it's actually all the policies that got passed that she helped to get past that are the reason why we're going through such turmoil now.
And everything Donald Trump did, putting supreme Court justices that would take away roe v wade, those Trump tax cuts for the wealthy. Those are things that Republicans have been championing for for decades. And she had no problem with that.

(81,267 posts)Im okay with Liz Cheney - SOME of the time. A LITTLE some-of-the-time.
And Im glad shes not 100% knuckledragger. But on most of the issues shes right down there scraping the bottom.

Bleacher Creature
(11,256 posts)She's horrific on every single policy issue, but she's staked her career on defending American democracy and has earned our trust and respect on that one narrow (but hugely important) issue.

(1,138 posts)For a democracy to exist there must be at least two parties committed to the democratic process. When the corporate twenty percent of the Republican party realized that they couldn't win without Trump, decided against a brokered convention, and turned their party over to the authoritarian eighty percent of their party, they put their party before their country and walked democracy to the edge of the cliff. Until the corporate twenty percent of the Republican party can take back control of their party, or start a viable third party committed to democracy, democracy in the US will stand at the edge of the cliff, in danger of dying because the authoritarian Republicans are willing to end democracy if they are not in control.
Septua
(2,256 posts)She has put Democracy above party and politics, been an extraordinary voice against Trump, MAGA and what they stand for. And she challenges the rest of the Republicans to follow suit.
I don't give two shits about her political convictions; at the end of the day, she stands for Democracy, which is what the country needs at the moment.
Trump awarded the Medal to Rush Limbaugh and Gym Jordan...WTF?

(4,298 posts)She doesn't mind voting to hurt so many fellow citizens and she vote against voting rights every chance she gets. She too shares the blame for what Trump and his cult has done to the country.

Republicans are caught between a rock and a hard place of their own device on this one.

(3,166 posts)What the poster above meant was that if the Republicans turn on Trump, he would start the Trump Party (you just know hed name it after himself) and peel off his diehard followers.

(12,444 posts)Trump IS the Republicans.
WHO is going to turn on him?
Liz Cheney?
Hahahahaha...
Something like 90% of GOP'ers say they'll vote for Trump if he's on the ballot in 24.
JohnnyRingo
(18,633 posts)Depends on how badly court cases go, but eventually McConnell and the other mainstream republicans will not be able to hold their noses and give him free rein over their party. Then they'll have to craft a way to make him so unpopular the barstool republicans will come back to papa. No mean task at this point.
Right now, if the GOP oversteps their bounds with Trump, his ego will have him starting his own party. You might think 90% of republicans would vote for him again, but be assured he isn't that popular among other pols. They want their party back.
This is a problem they created themselves. Now the monster is loose and wreaking havoc in the village.
WarGamer
(12,444 posts)If he loses in 2024... his base can be converted to the next guy and they haven't lost any votes.
It's foolish for the GOP to run against Trump in 24.
When Trump loses in 24... he will fade away.
Someone like DeSantis will ascend and take over as head of MAGA.
The Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol Neocon Party is dead and gone.
Forever.

JohnnyRingo
(18,633 posts)For Trump it's about ego and having people follow him to hell. He figures he doesn't need money to campaign when everybody loves him. He'll throw his toupee in the ring and go through the motions (see Ralph Nader) No matter what, he'll cry foul.

(16,733 posts)He just pulls this stuff out of his ass to suit his need at the moment, no matter what he may have said previously. And crickets for the entire GOP, except for two. Heading toward a shit storm unless he passes on or becomes incapacitated. Because he certainly isn't being held to any degree of accountability...
Bread and Circuses
(133 posts)You voted with tRump about 93% of the time. You knew what he was from the BEGINNING.
So you're to blame for letting run amok with our democracy.
You ONLY acted after Congress was attacked. Yeah. Well. That's a very low bar.
The entire Republican Agenda is Toxic, Vile, and Fascist.
What say You? Congresswoman Cheney?

(12,546 posts)Many GOP women are prochoice but never thought Roe would be overturned. That was the start for them. For others, Jan 6th. For others, kissing Putin's ass.
Whatever it was, the more who change the better.
At this point, IMO, defeating the trump cancer is more important than any other single issue.
