Liz Cheney doesn't rule out presidential bid, calls Donald Trump 'the single most dangerous threat'
Former Rep. Liz Cheney said Donald Trump was the “single most dangerous threat” the country faces and did not rule out a 2024 presidential bid.
Remember the good old days when Cheney was the worst Republican?
Which is really saying something, isn’t it?
Like, the fact that she’s a “good” one and that so many of the Republicans still hate her just tells you such much about the Grand Old Party. But, they knew Trump was going to destroy them and let it happen anyway, so whatever.
The difference is that while Cheney is "the worst" there was this idea, impractical as it is, that you could change their opinion.
Let's take for example Liz Cheney's view on same sex marriage, specifically in relation with her sister Mary. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Cheney#Dispute_with_Liz_Cheney
Liz was against it. Liz was called out. Her sister and her fought for what looks like 10 years. Liz admits she was wrong.
Yes, it took the classic "I'm against it until it affects me" routine, but her opinion changed.
The "worst" Republicans of the past are that. Someone I disagree with fully, but given enough time can be convinced to change their mind.
(Also as a quick aside that doesn't mean that Republicans are "always wrong" or Democrats are "always right", it's to show that a production conversation can happen.)
If you look at the MAGA Republican that isn't the case. Trump has "never been wrong" and will never admit fault.
The funniest example of this being the development of COVID vaccines. Trump led Operating Warp Speed to get the COVID vaccines in record time (ignore if this is true or not, that's the belief). But who are the most unlikely to get COVID vaccines? MAGA Republicans. Trump even tried to convince them, but was booed for it. The one time Trump was actually correct he was booed. Trump can't be wrong so he's shut up about it ever since.
Her opinion changed cause suddenly it started to personally affect her.
That doesnt make her a good person, or a good politician.
We don't need politicians that only change positions when things personally affect them.
Thats why we're in the situation with the country as it is, because 99% of problems in America will never personally affect them... cause they'll always have the money, access, and power to overcome or bypass it without issue or headache.
I'm sure the three people who would vote for her are champing at the bit for her to throw her hat into the ring.
She'll peel voters away from Trump, so I'm all for her running as a spoiler, obnoxious as she is. Assuming she peels votes from Trump, she said she won't do it if it helps Trump.
I think Pence has a better chance as sad as that sounds lol
Bless her heart, she thinks she could beat him.
They created a cult and think they can reason those voters out of it.
She couldn't even beat a guy who supported him
She beats him by taking 1% of his votes. Are you an imbecile?
She’s not wrong.
Shes not entirely right either.
Republicans are the most dangerous threat. Trump is just the most dangerous Republican.
Shes still a republican, regardless of the anti-trump playacting shes been doing the past few years, and if she didnt wholeheartedly agree with what they were doing deep down, she wouldnt still be part of the party.
The people who will vote for her are center-right dems. Let’s be real: repubs are now far-right. Dems have been pulling right for my entire life.
She is far too conservative for any dem to ever vote for her. More conservative than the average congressional maga "republican".
People who don't mind Trump policies, but to stop saying the quiet part out loud.
She really is a power broker in this. Would guarantee a Trump loss if she runs as an independent.
Doubtful

She's more than welcome to.
The can follow in daddy’s steps as a failed candidate. Make his work riddled ass proud I guess.
