Bye, Bye Liz?

With any luck, by late tonight Liz Cheney will be a lame-duck Congresswoman.

Wyoming primary elections are being held today and Cheney is expected to lose, “big time ” to borrow a phrase favored by her father.

It was Cheney, the consummate RINO (Republican in name only), who has been utilized to give “credibility” to the Jan. 6 show hearings.

Cheney is, after all, a Republican member of the House of Representatives, from a prominent Republican family. Who better to go after Donald Trump and thereby provide the illusion of bi-partisanship?

She is the ultimate Quisling.

But polls showed Cheney trailing by upwards of 30 percentage points in her re-election run, despite campaign funding from the left and an anti-Trump ad featuring Liz’s daddy, Dick.

Goodbye Liz, we hardly knew ye.

To understand Liz Cheney, one must understand that Donald Trump gained his time as president despite the best efforts of the Democrats and Republicans alike. Make that despite the efforts of elite Republicans. Main Street Republicans loved the Trump message. Most still do.

Trump spoke of America going astray politically and economically, both in domestic and foreign issues. He vowed to drain the D.C. Swamp, populated as it is by operatives from both parties.

That’s why Republicans fought almost as hard as Democrats to keep Trump out of office.

It’s why Republicans in high office did little to stop ongoing intelligence agency coup attempts, or election misdeeds designed to make the Trump time in the Oval Office a short as possible.

It is unlikely Wyoming elected Cheney expecting her to make it a personal crusade to destroy Trump. After all, 70 percent of the state had voted for Trump in 2020.

But Cheney, likely at the bidding of her fellow Republican elitists, wants to bury Trump politically. It’s not enough that he left office due to a questionable election outcome. Democrats and elite Republicans fear he still is popular and could rise phoenix-like from the ashes to run – even win – again.

Cheney, like her many other party-confused Senate counterparts among the RINO wing, ought just to do the right thing and swap parties. Their allegiances clearly are not with Republicans.

Better to make a clean break and get onboard with people they agree with philosophically.

Better to clear the decks for legitimate candidates to run, leaving us to be spared down the line from being expected to hold our noses and vote for the likes of Dr. Oz, current “Republican” candidate for Senate.

It’s time for truth in labeling when it comes to political parties. Voting out Cheney is a start.

So long, Liz. Don’t let the door hit you on the butt on your way out.
