It won&#8217;t happen. Not ever.<\/p>\n<p>At least that&#8217;s my belief.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217; view, he violated his oath of office.<\/p>\n<p>She paid for her rebellion by being ousted from the party and then by losing her 2022 GOP primary election to a Trumpkin.<\/p>\n<p>But &#8230; is all of this reason for her to become a Democrat? No. It isn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8230; especially as president of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>As for the talk about her joining the Democratic Party, it ain&#8217;t gonna happen &#8230; again, that&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?hashtags=GOP%20%23MAGA%20%23LizCheney%20%23insurrection&#038;via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You hear it from time to time, that Liz Cheney is going to become a Democrat after spending a lifetime as a Republican.
