I'm not that knowledgeable about Liz Cheney, but

I get the impression, from reading some, that she is much more of a dyed in the wool conservative than most of the republican hacks who attack her. They should probably pay attention.

1. Oh, she is a conservative, make no mistake.

She's doing good work with the committee, but she's betting that the Republicans will get over the Trump worship and when the evidence against him is presented, they'll drop him like a hot potato. When that happens, she'll have cred with independents for taking a principled stand when it wasn't popular and her political stock will go up. She's ambitious, and she's very conservative. The Democrats will have to go against her eventually, but for now they're all playing nice. It's all political bullshit, but it's still a breath of fresh air after dealing with a terrorist bedfellow like Trump.

4. I think you are right

she is a formidable and astute politician and can bet on the bigger picture. Though I think she is serious in her disdain for Trump and his enablers.

2. Rep. Cheney is what a Republican used to be.

I disagreed with their policy positions but, with notable exceptions, I rarely doubted their honor and patriotism. There may be such Republicans again someday but today they are few and far between.

3. NeoCon Barbie is a hardcore NeoCon in th emold of her father, Shrub, Wolfowitz and Bolton.

9. I'm watching the hearing now. She's doing a great job.

I hate her politics but she's got integrity and values democracy over power.

Apologies for not knowing much about her apart from the Jan 6 thing and that she's a Republican, but I do know a bit about neo-conservatism and her father. How is she a neo-conservative? And here's another question. If she is, is that worse than the extremist MAGA poison that's overwhelmed the Republican party?

If someone can't have at least a bit of grudging respect for her willingness to be ostracised from her own party because she values her oath to the Constitution more, then I'd be thinking that's a great example of the complete and very unhealthy polarisation if US politics.

5. I think she's trying to turn the state of republicanism

into something that will favor her in a run for the presidency. If not in 2024, maybe 2028.

6. Explain How She Has ANY Chance At Becoming President

When she probably won't even win a Primary for her House Seat in Wyoming?

[Mr.Bill]

7. Like I said, she has to change the party.

There is plenty time to work on that before 2028 or even 2024. She began to try to do that tonight. Remember, Nixon became president after losing against Kennedy and the gubernatorial race in California.

Wyoming is nowhere and nobody. (no offence meant to DUers who live in that state) She's on the national stage now.

8. The Cheney's are in the Bush wing of the GOP

and they all loathe Trump
