You hear it from time to time, that Liz Cheney is going to become a Democrat after spending a lifetime as a Republican.
All I can say to that is … c’mon, man. It won’t happen. Not ever.
At least that’s my belief.
Cheney is the former Wyoming congresswoman who bolted GOP orthodoxy by being a staunch, vocal and ferocious critic of Donald J. Trump because, in many millions of Americans’ view, he violated his oath of office.
She paid for her rebellion by being ousted from the party and then by losing her 2022 GOP primary election to a Trumpkin.
But … is all of this reason for her to become a Democrat? No. It isn’t.
Cheney has said all along that she remains a pro-gun, pro-life, low-tax, fiscal conservative who believes strongly in the traditional Republican principles that led her to join the party of her father, former U.S. Rep. and ex-Vice President Dick Cheney.
Her only variation from what passes now for Republicanism is that she believes Donald Trump is a menace to the nation and should never, ever return to the White House … especially as president of the United States.
As for the talk about her joining the Democratic Party, it ain’t gonna happen … again, that’s my belief. Still, there is much to admire about a politician who is willing to pay the political price Liz Cheney paid while standing tall for democracy.
