Liz Cheney's revenge
By Joe Alton
Wyoming congresswoman Liz Cheney lost her bid to be the state's 2022 Republican candidate for the House of Representatives in resounding fashion last Tuesday. The suburban Virginian (that's where she spends most of her time) forsook her ancestral home to embark on a crusade against the evil orange demon named Donald Trump. The end result of her efforts was a landslide defeat to a Trump-endorsed candidate.
Comparing herself to Abraham Lincoln, Cheney admitted that the battle was over, but the war isn't. In her speech, she noted that Lincoln had lost races for both the House and Senate. It appears, however, that she wasn't aware that the Great Emancipator actually won the 1858 popular vote against Democrat Stephen Douglas, instead of the anemic 29 percent she was able to muster.
Why didn't Lincoln win that Senate race? The state Legislature decided Senate seats at the time; the Democrat majority voted for Douglas 54-46. It seems that Democrat shenanigans have a long history. In 2022 Wyoming, Cheney tried her own sleight of hand, inviting Democrats to change party just for the primary. Although thousands might have switched, the desired result was not achieved.
So how can Liz Cheney continue her campaign against the former president? She's still a congresswoman and co-chair of the January 6 committee until 2023; there's plenty of time to cause mischief and damage to Mr. Trump. She admitted her holy quest in her concession speech: "I will do whatever it takes to deny Trump a return to the Oval Office."
The question is, can she move the needle against the former president? Not if you're watching only conservative news channels, but she is considered a martyr in any number of liberal outlets. The eulogies are everywhere on the net, making you wonder if all Republicans are that evil and stupid to not vote for her. There are, indeed, a number of ways that she can exact her revenge on Donald Trump, Republicans, and conservatives everywhere.
