Cheney set to be face of anti-Trump GOP
By Scott Wong and Mike Lillis - 05/11/21 06:37 PM EDT

When Republicans vote Wednesday to expel House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney from the No. 3 leadership post, it will cement the Wyoming Republican and political scion as the face of the anti-Trump movement in the party.

What remains unclear is whether her apostasy leads to a political cul-de-sac or becomes the launching pad to a more prominent role within a Republican Party that’s still grappling with its identity in a post-Trump Washington.

Until now, that splintered-Never Trump faction has had no apparent leader. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), the 2008 presidential nominee who repeatedly clashed with former President Trump, died in 2018. Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R), the centrist Alaskan, and Mitt Romney (R-Utah), the party’s 2012 standard-bearer, both backed Trump’s impeachment this year but don’t lean into every Trump controversy.

Other vocal Trump critics such as Reps. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.) and Anthony Gonzalez (R-Ohio) don’t have the stature or national name ID.

Line 'em all up, let us know who they are (at least any who haven't raised their heads above the pond scum).

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It really boils down to a choice between powerful donors and the voters. Cheney, Kinsinger, etc have made their choice.

Cheney and her ilk apparently have no idea how pissed off people are. That the beltway business as usual way won't cut it anymore going forward.

It has been a year of devastating edicts and such, people are getting tired of this stuff.

I'd be sore tempted to slap the crap out of anyone getting paid from the public coffers who says "We're all in this together.", because "we" haven't been, at all.

Oh, brother.

The whole point of Never-Trumpism (allegedly) was that Trump was too toxic for the GOP to support. So they're going to hang their hat on the daughter of Dick Cheney, perhaps the one member of the party more hated outside the party than Trump? At least Cheney's superior GWB is getting the rehabilitation tour; Dick has received no such luck.
