Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) responded to former Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-Wyo.) dire warnings about a potential second term for former President Trump by claiming President Biden’s reelection would be much worse for the country.
Cheney warned in an interview with CBS’s John Dickerson that the United States is “sleepwalking into dictatorship” as the possibility of Trump winning another term in the White House in 2024 looms. Graham responded to her comments on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, arguing Trump was a better president than Biden. “I think a continuation of the Biden presidency would be a disaster for peace and prosperity at home and abroad,” Graham said.

Cheney is crazy as can possibly be. Totally unhinged from reality. She and Little Billy Kristol must get together and tell each other "scary Trump stories" at night.
Ignore this lunatic. She was tossed out of Congress by Wyoming for good reasons - she's a liar and she's nuts.

Lize Cheney would like to think she is still relevant. Quit giving her a forum and she will quickly be forgotten as she has been here in Wyoming.

Maybe Lizzy is right.
Trump would use the mechanics of government to persecute his political enemies. He'd jail thousands of them for thought crimes and use banks and social media to collect the damning "evidence".
He would ruin our economy.by high prices, and reward his friends with government largess.
No doubt he'd turn a blind eye to crime, both home-grown and through border policies.
And he'd encourage ...and finance ... wars and worldwide instability, often assisting both sides of the conflict (but usually to a greater extent our enemies).
Oops. Sorry. Never mind. That's Biden and the Democrat party.
The worst Trump ever did was say "lock her up" about Hillary. And he never did it. As appealing as that would have been, it obviously was a wise move NOT to do it.

The Dems have sent Liz out to float the trial balloon of a looming Trump dictatorship. It's ridiculous of course, but just watch how many talking heads you hear repeat her exact words. This is how propoganda works.

Sen. Graham, don't waste your time with the Lizzard. Even the State of Wyoming is grateful for having shown this unhinged rino the door.

The one thing that Cheney's rants tells me is that she is being eaten up inside by being thrown out by her constituents and the House Republicans. For me, that is what someone like Cheney deserves and is worse than anything someone else could do to her.

First, the U.S. Constitution does not permit a dictator based on the many checks and balances.
Second, when you hear people like Liz and Democrats mention things like a threat to "our" democracy, they are simply referring to how it will impact them, and their current version of Democracy.
They are talking about how handing back the power to the people instead of their chosen elected elite is a threat.
They are scared people will discover they've been lied to for decades and their names will not be remembered in a positive way.
Republicans, Independents and those moderate/conservative Democrats need to realize they are the larger majority who want the opportunity to live in peace, to have the opportunity to improve their status in life instead of the life today's Democrats (mostly Progressive types) who want you to live with less.
#3, good recap.

Lindsey Graham is contemptable piece of dung. He is totally unreliable. He is a weather vane. One year he is singing the praises of Joe Biden "one of the finest people god created, if you don't like him there is something wrong with you" and now Joe Biden "is a danger to the country and the world". So which one is the lie? Do you know? Does he?

Anyone pushing the "Trump is a Dictator" message is an enemy of the state. He has 4 years on record as POTUS that shows who is on the right side of history and who is not. Liz is clearly on the wrong side and still gaslighting the public.

Maybe Lizzy and Nikki can debate each other on what's wrong with Trump.

#16, you must have missed the comment by Dick Cheney during the Bush-Cheney administration about "Americans won't do that work" because the cracks were starting to show. . .

Liz probably thinks she’ll attract Never-Trumpers — and she might attract a few — but I doubt even that select group would welcome a Cheney presidency.
