I tend to think she may be trying to make up for the ‘sins’
of her father.

Every "Never Trumper" in the media would jump right on her buss and we would have a real fight on our hands. These people are not down with the destruction of the Republic but that does not make them our friends on domestic policy.

unless Liz runs as an Independent and then yes that would be bad, but I want her to run as an old fashioned Republican.

the GQP had better cancel all of the debates because truth always wins out over lies. If Trump is the only other GQP candidate Liz will chew him up and spit him out.

I guarantee that the GQP will do everything they can to prevent Liz from running, she won't get the nomination but she will severely damage whoever does.

'truth wins out over lies' from those on the Right since like - 1994.

Yes - she would damage the ultimate nominee. Don't doubt that.

But no - the average GOP voter knows 'truth' but they WANT lies. They want someone to tell them -
That person over there took from you.
Those people are less than you.
You can be lazy - because everything is SUPPOSED to come to you.

I have a lot of thoughts on the rank and file Republican Voter - but my hardest Truth? They are people of the lie. And that started looooong before The Big Lie.

Liz Cheney is a Cheney. She’s a Republican through and through and the Republican roots are deep.
I could never be that trusting of a Cheney ever.
Their goal is to stockpile money just like any other Republican.

We'll need a STRONG Democrat to run against her, that's for damn sure.
