when pigs fly

 Let me say this about that: when pigs fly.  Oh, there will surely be a woman president not too far down the road, and possibly she will be a republican, but there is no way that it will be Liz Cheney.

She is an extreme right winger, a manic war hawk, and the daughter of one of the main architects of the disastrous war in Iraq, who she has never repudiated.  The right wing is the part of the Republican that fell heaviest in love with Trump, so not much support there.  And while she is a darling to the dems currently because of her campaign against Trump but no dem is going to vote for her when they could vote for an actual dem.

Oh, she may well run in the 2024 rep primary, what else does she have to do, but she has no more chance of doing well there than she did in Wyoming.  She will most likely sign up with one of the cable networks as a commentator, and that's a well-paying gig where you keep a high profile and you don't have to work all that hard.


If we are going to do dueling links, here is one of how the reps turned Ohio from purple to red without changing minds, just changing the map.
