This proves what I have been saying all along about the modern Republican Party.

LOL. Taking comedy too far. Her speech was comedy gold. TDS does this to people. Trump is not on the ballot and not even from Wyoming and she brings him up in her speech. Even with the voters of Wyoming telling her the problem, she ignores them. Arrogance does this to people.


She was down by over 30 points for over a year and she ran for re-election anyway in a state that she is hardly there and she isn't from. She is a sad case. Her daddy gave her that job by the name. She was taking in 6 million dollars a year by just showing up. They made her the #3 rank Republican in the house by just having her daddy's name and she blew all that because of her TDS and joining a Kangaroo court. Oh well.

The Trump Republican party has pretty much moved into the right stratosphere at this point and it seems like this is a good time for a third party, more progressive than Trump's Republicans but still with the same general values minus the rabid conspirators. I see a place for Liz Cheney and some other Republicans here, plus perhaps a few more conservative Democrats. Middle ground voters might be quite interested in this.

You want the people of Wyoming to keep her when she doesn't represent them and she is hardly there making 6 millions dollars a year? LOL Liz has been down by over 30 points over a year. Why are you Liz lovers shocked of the outcome. You expected her to win? She made her bed.

A party of war mongers and pro torture that never apologized for their lies and crimes lecturing the public on the "truth" and calling themselves "moderates". Go ahead and start the party. People live in a bubble.

The Republican party of today belongs to Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar, Lauren Boebert, Jim Jordan, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Doug Mastriano, Kari Lake, Herschel Walker ... and of course more than anyone else, the Big Orange Man. Liz Cheney chose a path that diverged from the names above (and many others) while representing a location that strongly supports the #MAGA agenda, and she paid the price with her seat.

Ultimately if the #MAGA movement's return to power is thwarted, it's going to be due to the efforts of Democrats and persuadable independents, much more so than anti-Trump Republicans who are virtually an extinct species. If Cheney truly wants to keep #45 from becoming #47, I think she would be best served to step out of the spotlight once the 1/6 committee's work is finished. And given the House will flip in the midterms and there will be no more than two Republicans left who voted for impeachment, the committee will be over with in a matter of months.

That seems like a great way to split the anti-Trump vote and return him to power in 2024. Trump's base is about 46-47% of the American electorate, and more than that in the majority of states. Virtually none of those voters would be willing to consider a third party candidate.

The GOP is the party of the Bushes, Cheneys, Kasich,Romneys NO more. They are tired of the endless wars, open borders, globalism and selling out to China and put Americans second.

The Bush doctrine had it's run from 1988 but at the end it was a loser.

I forget the exact amount, 62% for the winner, and Cheney was at 35% or so, forget the exact numbers but by all accounts it was pretty resounding.

Liz Cheney would have lost whomever she was running against.
