Bridges Burned

The New York Post is one of the sources reporting lame duck Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) says she will leave the Republican Party and campaign for Democrats if Trump is the 2024 GOP nominee. She also plans to campaign now against Kari Lake who's running for governor in AZ.

Self-awareness is difficult for some. About that threat to leave the Republican Party, Cheney is very late with that. The Wyoming Republican Party left Cheney 10 months ago, and in August WY GOP voters endorsed that view with certitude.

What Cheney is now probably doesn't have a modern name. They once called it being a "mugwump" or fence-sitter. That meant her "mug" was on one side of the fence and her "wump" or rump was on the other side. 

The only political thing Democrats and Cheney agree on is their dislike for Trump. It isn't enough to build a relationship on. Can you imagine a Democrat with a realistic chance of election inviting her to campaign with them? I can't.

She has made enemies of most Republicans and she agrees with Democrats about very little. The Greens won't have her and she's no Libertarian. She may have become too toxic even to be a lobbyist.
