Exactly. Indeed we need a principled conservative party as a counterbalance to the Left, but today's GOP is far from principled. It's a cult of personality focused on revenge for Trump's personal grievances. Principled conservatism has been on the downswing since the mid 1990's when Gingrich came to the fore and Fox News and Rush Limbaugh got started. It's been downhill ever since.

The point I was trying to make are:

Liz Cheney as a staunch conservative and is not going to swap her red cardigan for a blue sweatshirt. Running as an independent, she will siphon a lot of votes from women and I believe a large % of them are Democrats.

If she were to compete with Trump for the GOP nomination, she can and will rip Trump into shreds. Being a vice chair of the J6 committee, she probably has a lot more information than we do, a very few in the GQP does either. Trump will react, over react and this works in the Democrats favor.

As for current day Republicans who uphold the constitution or laws of this country, they are an insignificant minority. No one is questioning her motives but very few in the GOP trust her anymore and that will never change imo.

^^ Very very interesting. I do not know how much right wing political sway Charles Koch has (anymore), but should irritate X-45 to no end, especially the deep pockets.
