1. Wouldn't that burn their little asses if she was in the primary and beat Trump?

2. I think the major point of all this is to lay the groundwork for a run

The big roadblock called Trump simply must be moved first.

Skeptic that I am, I do not think Liz Cheney has any more integrity genes than any other Republican. I think she saw an opportunity and capitalized on it. Also, I believe her Dad hates Trump.

So now she can wear a shiny badge of 'integrity' that she really doesn't deserve.

6. I don't know what her game is

but I just can't see how she could possibly win the Republican primary.

For going against Trump, she's now been excommunicated by the party. This is what all Republican politicians are terrified of right now. It's why Kevin McCarthy and Lindsey Graham are still kissing Trump's butt, and why people like Ron DeSantis are going all in on Trumpism. They know that this is where all the base votes are, and the path to the GOP nomination goes through Trump.

The GOP base is only going to support politicians -- especially women -- who demonstrate total fealty to Trump. I think Marjorie Taylor Greene would have a better shot at the GOP nomination than Liz Cheney.

And it sure as hell won’t be Dick Cheney’s daughter.

10. I believe she saw the handwriting on the wall recently that oranganus is done

and she is now positioning herself to run in 2024. Had she only cared about saving democracy she would have been this loud when he was still in office.

Give my love to Duncan and the Boog and the Goldie (I don’t think I know Goldie’s name)

11. Maybe she knows more than they do about who'll be indicted & convicted by 2024.

Maybe by 2024 she'll have watched as the traitors are hauled away.

13. The Republican primary will be a jungle primary just like 2016.

All of the usual crazies, lunatics, CTers, religious freaks, racists, rogues, and billionaires will be battling it out to out-crazy everyone else.
