Liz Cheney's harsh new attack on Trump is a plea for GOP sanity

Cheney is doing the right thing even if this means that she will lose her primary

Cheney’s indictment of the former president amounts to one of the most consequential and effective public performances in recent U.S. history. Meanwhile, the Wyoming Republican is fighting for her political life against a challenger who epitomizes gutter Trumpism at its absolute worst.

Cheney amplified her case against Trump at a primary debate on Thursday night. Cheney heaped scorn on her leading challenger, Trump-backed Harriet Hageman, slamming her for fealty to Trump’s lies about the 2020 election and urging GOP voters to leave Trump behind once and for all.

Cheney will likely lose her primary, perhaps by enormous margins. But her performance in the primary — along with her speech this week casting Trump as a “domestic threat” — represent something forward-looking, a plea to the Republican Party to break with Trump’s madness for the sake of the country and its future.....

“I will never violate my oath of office, and if you’re looking for somebody who will, then you need to vote for somebody else on this stage,” continued Cheney, who’s also the vice chair of the House select committee on Jan. 6......

How far down the path to democratic instability this will take us remains to be seen. Cheney plainly believes — and this view is alarmingly shared by experts in democratic breakdown — that unless Republicans execute a fundamental turnaround, there may not be any route back.

1. Maybe the Lincoln Group should form a Lincoln Party and DITCH the GOP.

Walk away, grab the Independent voters and any SANE Republican who remembers simply disagreeing with DEMs and not sending in armed citizens to shoot your political opponents.

Even back in the days of duels, at least they stood up and shot each other themselves instead of riling up constituents to do the job.

2. When she loses her primary, she's going to run for president.

She will lose, she will see Trump indicted, she will run for senate? (but I'd bet more likely, WY Gov.), and she will win.
6 years from now, both Biden AND Trump will be done and off the field (one way or another).

I predict she will run against either Harris, or Warren.
