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.
