(3,433 posts)I think that she probably knows her chances are slim to none. The one who is kidding himself is Pence.

(47,419 posts)it isn't the end of the world if you don't get re-elected to Congress. There really are more important things in life, like losing one's democracy.

at the national level will give her campaign financial and other backing, possibly as an Independent.
On the other hand, Ive been quite aware from the beginning that she threw all her bets on trying to save the country, and to hell with what was once her party.

(46,088 posts)Republican Rep. Liz Cheneys reelection hopes in Wyoming hinge on a silent majority throwing her a lifeline, according to her political allies in the state, who say she could be rewarded for risking her political future in the name of principle.
Her backers say the bark of Ms. Cheneys most vocal Republican critics in the state is worse than their bite, insisting the rabble-rousers in the party are out of sync with the sentiment of most Wyoming residents.
They are loud and they are ugly, said former state Rep. Amy Edmonds, who has previously worked for Ms. Cheney. They are a minority, though. That is definitely not Wyoming.
Ms. Cheney, a daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is gearing up for the fight of her political life, a year after cruising to reelection to her at-large seat in 2020.
Former President Donald Trump, his allies and his loyal supporters are calling for her ouster.

(90,674 posts)I hope Ms Cheney would win as an Independent, but I do not know Wyoming.
If a Dems chances are nil to zero, Id rather have her, as a known quantity who at least is loyal to country over a rotted-out party.
