Liz Cheney Spells Out Why Kevin McCarthy Is A Danger To Democracy

14. I agree that she is trying to appeal to

old line Republicans to regroup and get rid of the crazies.

But I would not compare her to Ike. She is far to the right of Ike. She is waging war over which far right faction will control the party. It's a turf war to determine which brand of oligarchy will hold power to control the nation. Cheney's side is protecting its domestic and foreign business interests against those of the Trump faction. Her faction needs control of national agencies to advance their own personal interests. It has nothing to do with protecting democracy. Her daddy served both Bushes, who equated democracy with unregulated capitalism and chose to bring "democracy" to the Middle East through wars intended to serve their own business interests.
