Republican donors line up behind Liz Cheney as she takes on Trump

Republican donors are opening their wallets for Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, but their interest is not limited to her House race. More than two full years before the 2024 election, Cheney is emerging as the anti-Trump champion, and plenty of Republicans are glad to see it.

I always had a feeling that McCarthy's actions would backfire on him. Looks like Liz is doing quite well with fund raising and overall approval with the republican elites. Perhaps Adam Kinsinger will get the same treatment.

The ruling elites as their designation implies have deep pockets.

I guess you missed the point. Of course, they have deep pockets. But they're beginning to steer their money away from Trumpism. What the speaker did and what the RNC did to both of them was uncalled for. All at the instruction of Trump.

I think they are all about to find out just how wrong they were.

I guess you missed the point. These ruling elites were always anti Trump. He's there worst nightmare.

Oh, wow! The establishment is backing establishment politicians?

No, that was Bernie Sanders. Donald Trump cut their taxes and ruled like any other Republican would have. and ‘ruled‘ is the appropriate term for Trump.

If Republican donors are lining up for Liz Cheney what's she selling? Republican donors being what they are.

Nice try but Trump ran against the ruling elites as much as against democrats themselves. He like Reagan was very unpopular among what Reagan called country club Republicans.

Now you're getting it.

Integrity. Honesty. Don't get me wrong, I do not approve of her politics. But I do respect her leaps and bounds above all the Trump boot lickers. Liz will give them tax cuts without lying 100 times a day. She will honor her oath of office as she is doing now. Unlike the large majority of the rest of them.

 

[Mongidig]

We love you Liz!

Sounds like she'd be more comfortable as a Democrat then.

Whatever she is, we need a lot more like her. How can it be that only two house republicans got on the correct side of things after 1-6? I'll tell you how. Because they cared more about our country than their stinking republican politics.

The correct side of things after 1-6 is it was a temper tantrum protest, nothing more. No governments were in danger of being overthrown.

That's total BS and you know it. 1-6 was the last-ditch effort to stop the electoral count and possibly throw the election to Trump. In the two months leading up to 1-6 there were numerous coup plots that all failed. You know the old saying. Attempted bank robbery will get you in jail just the same as bank robbery.

And if your statement were true, can you explain all the seditious conspiracy charges?

There were 10 House Republicans, not two, and seven senators. Okay, not a lot, but give them the credit they're due.

Yes, but none that have been as outspoken. And even McConnell laid the blame on Trump directly after 1-6. Then later said, hell yes, I'll support him if he's the nominee. What a bunch of hypocrites.

I can explain all the seditious conspiracy charges: Pure political miscarriage of justice.

Probably more of the tax and regulation styles of Trump but without the crazier actions.

If I had to guess.

Um, how so? It's not like Trump loving politicians are anti-business.

Well, you just be sure to re-elect Trump and he'll pardon all the hundreds of Jan. 6th felons. That'll be justice, right?

 

[MaryP]

So they have to be loud, too? I think you're just saying REPUBLICANS BAAAAAAD. Right? You don't need any excuses, just say it.

Depends what business. And who owns it. And if they get a kickback.

No. All republicans aren't BAD. The majority just don't have enough integrity to pull away from the deplorable base long enough to worry about democracy. It's all about re-election and minority rule.

That lack of integrity is what makes them bad IMO. Same with democrats that lack integrity.
