In reply to the discussion: Liz Cheney Pens Op-Ed Warning GOP Trumpers The Truth Is Coming Out [View all]PurgedVoter
(2,724 posts)I am not saying his daughter would do the same, but there was not a single peep out of the Republican party as Dick granted himself extraordinary powers and oversaw unbelievable twisting of the Constitution.
Well before then, Trump extracted money in ways never before done by a president and hired his family in direct opposition to laws put into place by Republicans.
I would argue that the Republicans have managed for years to get away with saying they were for law and order without ever showing a willingness to bend to the laws and orders they set.
Cheney may actually be one of those few conservative leaders who believe that there are things worth making sacrifices to maintain. It is an amazing thing to see someone who worships at the alter of selfishness that conservatism is, who realizes that the alter will burn if the selfish fires of destruction are not contained within it.
