Liz Cheney’s Defeat Taught Her Nothing

In 1980, when the voters of Arkansas denied Bill Clinton a second term as the state’s governor, he responded by apologizing to the voters for the poor decisions he had made and asking them how he could have done a better job. This humble approach allowed him to regain the trust of the voters, and he was reelected in 1982. The rest, to coin a phrase, is history. There’s a lesson for Rep. Liz Cheney in this story, but she refuses to learn it. Indeed, on Sunday, she literally dismissed the Wyoming voters who rejected her as “sick.”

Do you need any more proof that she's a Democrat?

This is the best summation I have read on The Madness of Liz Cheney.

Both her and her Daddy are now on the same side as those who wanted to shackle him and ship him off to the Hague to stand trial for War Crimes. They have short memories.

The defeat taught her nothing because she’s not teachable. German has a great term for someone like Liz Cheney: Besserwisser. She may not know everything, but she always knows better than you.

"It has never occurred to her that she might be wrong."
After such a repudiation, to not question yourself shows that you are mentally unbalanced. It's not only a failure of character, it's dangerous.
It's lucky that she exposed herself and has been removed from a responsible position.
The same thing happened to most of the "Republicans" that acted against Trump without evidence or legal cause. We are much better off without such people in government.

At some point, hatred becomes insanity. The ONLY thing she cares about is geting rid of Trump, no matter how it is accomplished. She is like a rabid dog.

Liz is not about representing Wyoming. It is about representing Liz. Much like most carpetbaggers, which she is, it's about themselves. She has an agenda . . . to protect herself, her daddy and the "deep state". It is not about what they have on Trump, it's about what he has on "them".

The left NEVER learns - they just double down. As if getting louder (or to get violent) is the way to win a debate. Lizzie no longer has her well paid public pulpit but as a multi-term congress member she does have a cushy pension to enjoy. And she will continue to 'profit' off her anti-Trump hatred much as Beto in Texas continues to attract leftist financial support whether he wins another election or not.

The Cheney “campaign” target market was democrats. Without democrat crossovers in the primary, Cheney was a 3-1 loser, at best. Cheney announced a pac the day after the primary “focused solely on defeating Trump-backed candidates.” Cheney is toxic. She is consumed with hate for President Trump.

She gets to keep contributions to a presidential campaign, right?

What's the lesson Liz was supposed to learn? The supposition is that she self-righteously committed political suicide. She's political royalty. She surely knows what she is doing. So she may have lost her congressional seat...or she can run as an independent in November. IIRC, Murkowski did exactly that a few years ago in Alaska. Wyoming law does not prohibit her getting a few signatures and paying $750 for a ballot spot. In any case, she has millions in her war chest, and that buys her clout. She's far from dead and buried. She'll be taken care of by the establishment. Daddy's got influential friends.

Even Al Gore knew better in 2000.
When the dust had settled, and Bush won, Gore was asked what he was going to do.
Gore said, "I'm going back to Tennessee and talk with my people."
(Gore lost Tennessee. Had he won the State, he would have won the Presidency,)

not as long as she continues to listen to Daddy and Uncle George W who, as we used to say when I was growing up they "couldn't find their A _ _ with both hands" and to think we gave these two traitors 8 years of control of our federal government

I will never understand some people's intense hatred of Trump. Disagree with his politics, don't like his tweets, ok, but intense hatred?
