The utter idiocy of 'Liz Cheney for president'
[NYPOST] Never mind that, in a Trumpless world, these same outfits would be calling her Satan and a Nazi, as they did with her dad and even the likes of John Maverick McCain
... the Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution. As an ordinary citizen he greased the infamous hookers peeing on the Obamabed in Moscow dossier in an attempt to smear President Trump...
and Willard Mitt Romney, aka Pierre Delecto
...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012, now Senator from Utah. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. He is currently a trans Republican and a member in good standing of the Never Trump Party, attempting to assume the mantle of the late John McCain...
. In their eyes, the only "good Republican" is one who’s causing trouble for the bulk of the GOP.

Yes, Trump’s lies about the 2020 election are a continued horror, and his Jan. 6 behavior was despicable. But going monomaniacal on it doesn’t turn Liz Cheney into Abraham Lincoln, as she vaingloriously claimed.

Sure, she’s built a huge national fund-raising machine while abandoning her constituents’ concerns (and not just on Trump) and going silent on core conservative issues. That would let her collect a pile of cash from the same clueless millionaires and Lincoln Project types, and could even fund a third-party run for the White House.
It won’t buy her a win, though. So her choice is either to fertilize the national economy as she tries, or to fertilize her personal savings account when she takes herself out of the running. Either way, fools and their money are soon parted, and this way they won’t spend it on something more effective in the anti-Trump line,
Because she won’t go anywhere in any Republican or Democratic primaries: Every other candidate would bring more to the table than "I hate Trump." And as an independent in the general, she’d mainly hurt the Democrat by drawing moderates looking for a bit of sanity, à la John Anderson in 1980.

Your new media fans aren’t your friends, Liz: They only love you for the clickbait.
