Cheney Needs Divine Intervention Or Dems To Win Tuesday
COLUMN by Gloria Christie THE NEWSLETTER FOR INTELLIGENT WOMEN & MEN
Hi there! I can see! I can see! And so this is what I want to talk about today — Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY). She has shown all the GOP boys how to stand up to Donald Trump. It may cost her the seat she holds in the House. But there is tomorrow, and I have a feeling that even though I do not like her politics, she will come out of this mess with a remarkable long-term plan.
I keep trying to get this out earlier! Stay safe, stay well, my Friends!

Cheney Needs Divine Intervention Or Dems To Win Tuesday
Representative Liz Cheney (R-WY) is one of the rare almost extinct Republicans who are more dedicated to our great democracy than those trying to destroy it. She has the values and honor of someone who should win her primary election on Tuesday. But the old not-so-Grand Old Party no longer exists.
Let’s talk about the Nihilistic Un-party, the one that sneaked in and spit out such jewels as Donald Trump and Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Matthew Gaetz (R-FL). Oh, let us not forget Roger The-Dirty-Trickster Stone plus Stephen Two-Shirts Bannon. They live in a world of insane rage, pessimism, and radical skepticism.
That explains why Trump has been trying to blow up the FBI and stuff the Supreme Court with radical far-right justices who vote according to their ultra-conservative Christian values rather than the Constitution. The former president liked the idea of destroying our precious Capitol Building and remotely killing his Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). He enjoyed the horror he unleashed upon America, rewinding and rewinding the parts he favored.
Even without his lead, this disease can continue to eat away at American democracy. All the while Senate Minority Leader Mitch “The-Grim-Reaper” McConnell (R-KY) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) sit cowering and quivering beneath their desks in their offices.
At a time when the Republicans need a strong leader such as Cheney, her party strips her of her leadership roles. Then, Trump comes out to endorse her Wyoming opponent. So can she win Tuesday?
NBC Senior Political Reporter Jonathan Allen commented on the Velshi Sunday morning show. There he commented about Cheney’s chances during her Tuesday primary:
‘Almost no chance she wins her election. Unless divine intervention.’
Democrats would have to re-register and vote for her.
Miracle do happen, and Vice-Chair of the House January 6 Select Committee certainly does deserve to win, but things look abysmal with her pulling only 29 percent of the polled vote compared to 54.9 for her competitor. Former Republican National Committeewoman Harriet Hageman leads in the field of numerous contenders and Trump campaigned for her.
Still Cheney said, according to The Hollywood Life:
‘Our nation needs this Republican Party as a strong party based on truth so we can shape the future. To do that, we must be true to our principles and to the Constitution. We cannot let the former president drag us backward and make us complicit in his efforts to unravel our democracy.
‘Down that path lies our destruction, and potentially the destruction of our country. If you want leaders who will enable and spread his destructive lies, I’m not your person, you have plenty of others to choose from. That will be their legacy.’
At the same time, the FBI found 27 boxes of documents that walked their way into the basement at Mar-a-Lago. A number of them with the highest-highest level of secrecy were stuffed in the basement next to the broken umbrellas. Did they contain information regarding the nuclear codes? It is still too early to tell.
After Cheney voted to impeach Trump, her disapproval rating dropped like a rock from 26 percent to 72 percent. But she certainly has been pulling in the big bucks $9 million to Hageman’s $1+ million.
A significant number of Democrats in Wyoming have voted for her. Unfortunately, about two-thirds of her state’s registered voters vote Republican.
Of the 10 Republicans who voted for Trump’s impeachment:
‘Four announced their retirements before having to face the voters again. Three have been defeated in primaries and two managed to make it to the general election.’
