Analysis: Liz Cheney went against the “clear” path. Now she leads an anti-Trump movement.
All the Wyoming Republican had to do was keep quiet, like almost all her male GOP colleagues had decided to do.
“I cannot recall anyone who compares to Liz Cheney’s ‘full force’ confrontation with Trump and company, especially post-World War II,” Donald R. Wolfensberger,Rep. Liz Cheney's is now looking far beyond her Republican primary loss and possibly toward the White House. And she has become a prolific fundraiser, where in the past she would raise the minimum necessary to win in this small-population state where only the GOP primary matters.
Instead, after some early positive advertisements that discussed those matters, Cheney focused her final weeks almost singularly on prosecuting the case against Trump and those local Republicans who tout his fallacies about the 2020 election. Right down to running a 60-second ad featuring her father calling Trump a “coward.”On Tuesday morning, just before she cast her vote here at the county library, she once again politely rejected that advice about focusing on issues other than Trump.
Smith served another 20 years, getting rewarded for her opposition to McCarthy. Lieberman lost his primary but then ran as an independent and won another six-year term. Margolies-Mezvinsky lost in 1994, but her politically courageous vote did not create nearly as many death threats as Cheney and her family now endure for crossing Trump.
