Liz Cheney plans to go national
Axios ^ | 17 Aug 22 | Mike Allen

Posted on 08/17/2022 9:21:52 AM PDT by seanmerc

Allies of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) tell Axios that after last night's primary loss, they expect her to start a super PAC — which would attract lots of wealthy, anti-Trump Republican donors.

Why it matters: Forming a national group would signal a run in the '24 GOP primaries, giving a real voice to anti-Trump Republicans.

Driving the news: It sure looked like a presidential-campaign stage when Cheney — vice chair of the House Jan. 6 committee — conceded Wednesday night in Jackson, Wyo. She immediately teased a '24 presidential run.

“She doesn’t exist anymore”

She is a solipsist.

She thinks we don’t exist!

Remember Megyn Kelly? Remember how she took swings at candidate Trump, left FOX, and thought that all the world and Democrats would rush to her as a hero. Hmmm... Turns out, Democrats still hated her and refused to accept her. The RINOs still threw bouquets at her, but her career tanked and never recovered.

It will be exactly the same with Cheney. This idea that Liz Cheney could, somehow, going to concoct some imaginary political force is utter nonsense. Democrats, in a million years, will never, ever seriously vote for Liz Cheney, Dick Cheney's daughter. RINOs will throw cash at her, and like an empty barrel, she'll make noise on MSNBC, CNN, and a smattering of Sunday morning snooze-fest shows, but that's it. If she runs as a Republican, she will get less support than Jeb! If she runs as an Independent, she will never crack over 1%.

So yeah, go ahead, do a vanity run. In the end, Cheney will get a huge book advance deal, garner huge speaking fees, and generally get paid off for falling on her sword, but that's about it. She's done.

“It appears that the soon-to-be FORMER Rep. Cheney is harboring delusions of grandeur.”

I think her mission is to serve as an anti-Trump. Causing problems for Trump is winning to her. That’s all she has.

She suffered a humiliating 35 percentage point loss, she has the personality of a sink sponge, and the appearance of over-risen dough with glasses and a wig, so of course she thinks she’s presidential material.

She’s a warmongering Derp State loon, a Soros acolyte. Same folks pushing for WW3 for Ukraine.

I guess she plans to take being a traitorous lying loser to new heights. Have fun, Liz.

People are sick of self absorbed 'elites'... LIKE LIZ CHENEY.

"Democracy" is NOT running for office under the lie you'll represent the people who voted for you then DECIDING YOU'LL REPRESENT ONLY YOUR FAMILY AND FELLOW 'ELITES' AND TO HELL WITH YOUR CONSTITUENTS.

GET REAL LIZ

That was the plan all along. She didn’t want to win that primary, just wanted coverage for her never-ending hunt for Moby Trump.


Yup. She will get rich by becoming a professional “conservative” gadfly.

On a different note, I do not know how Alaska votes system works but it’s very confusing to everybody. They have rigged the system to benefit the incumbent this is so unfair for the Alaskan people to have true representation. With that said it looks like the witch from Alaska is going to survive and unfortunately Palin might not make it. They rigged it so that the MAGA candidates don’t stand a chance. Richard Baris, the people’s pundit, is diving into it explaining this mess! Que Desmadrè!

She knows (as any imbecile would know) that she has zero chance of winning the ‘24 primaries.

What she also knows is that the GOPe and the media will collude to ensure she has a spot on the stage for the debates — no matter what she’s polling at the time...

She only lacks one necessary ingredient, electability.

Crystal City is where her new office will be located.

Defense Department central, where all the billions go before being sifted before heading to Ukraine.

She increased her net worth by 6 million per year over he past 6 years and is worth near 50 million. Not bad on a $260,000/year salary.

She won't be President but she'll gladly become rick off the donations of rich, delusional leftists.

She made $37 mill in 6 years of congress.

Cheney and 10 other lilliputians can debate all they want.

The Orange Giant will have other priorities, like holding campaign rallies and doing media interviews.

"I’ve got a better chance of being president."

Well, you do have my vote.
