Who Represents Paycheck Americans?
What elite Republicans like Liz Cheney have failed to grasp is that Donald Trump didn’t realign the party. He tapped into something that had already happened and is now accelerating.

Like an aging diva, blinded by the lights that obscure an empty auditorium, U.S. Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) desperately imitates her supposed rivals to woo her already-departed fans. Robust and confrontational, the Reagan-style ideals of limited government, personal responsibility, and optimism are poison to her beltway cocktail circuit. Cheney’s recent speech is a clinic in the Republicans’ second-place strategy that has kept them out of power in Congress for most of the post-war era
“I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office,” Cheney said. “We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution, and I think it’s very important that we make sure whomever we elect is somebody who will be faithful to the Constitution.”
What a load of crap. Cheney has shirked her constitutional duty to check uniparty power and the right of citizens to challenge leftist authority.
Who is she even talking to? The elite, college-educated outrage addicts who hated Trump have already left the Republican tent. Liz Cheney is living in 1994 if she thinks she’s appealing to anyone who remains in the Republican Party.
In 1994, as Newt Gingrich swept to power under the “Contract with America,” to be a conservative Republican had a coherent ideological identity. Back then, Republicans were a loose coalition of the Chamber of Commerce pro-business interests, evangelical pro-life conservatives, and patriotic pro-military interventionists.
