A local story I’m following is the long, slow slide Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) is taking out of politics. Following the Dobbs decision in which the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Cheney announced her longtime support for the pro-life side of this issue.
Whereupon Democrats, who have praised her anti-Trump antics on Pelosi’s hand-picked Jan. 6 show trial panel, turned on her like the proverbial fair weather friend she showed herself to be. That should put paid to her efforts to get WY Dems to change registration to vote for her in the primary.
Cheney’s energetic anti-Trump motivation seems to arise out of Trump’s disrespect for her daddy, former VP Dick Cheney, upon whose career she seems to have modeled her own. Trump doesn’t conceal his disdain for the whole George W. Bush presidency, which hindsight shows to have been rife with missed opportunities, wasted efforts and pointless wars.
