PS: you just know she is getting death threats every day, probably directed at her and her dad and everyone else in her family. So that is something she must have had to consider. So chalk up another reason that I say she is courageous.
Her father grifted enough from our Dept of Defense via Haliburton to keep her family and half of Wyoming safe through the next few generations.

I admire what she has done, at great personal risk to her political career.
What I don’t get, is that when a Republican acts like a Democrat - speaks the truth re Jan 6, for instance, or votes not to scrap Obamacare without any replacement in mind (like McCain) - they are transformed into some kind of a political saint, immediately being placed above any Dem who’s been holding the same reasonable position for years.

My wife asked if I would vote for her in 2024. I said if she were the running mate of Biden or Harris I definitely would.
She didn’t like that answer.
Today’s Republican party has not only gone bat-shit crazy, they strictly enforce bat-shit craziness among their ranks. In that setting, I recognize that for a Republican to not be bat-shit crazy requires political fortitude, but I don’t think they deserve a medal just for not being bat-shit crazy.

PS - apparently
Cheney’s opponent is too busy to take a call from her opponent conceding the election:
Liz Cheney has released her concession call to Harriet Hageman, after the Trump-backed Republican who won the Wyoming US House primary on Tuesday told Fox News her rival had not made “any kind of concession or anything else”.
Cheney gave a recording of the call to Politico. In it, she said: “Hi, Harriet, it is Liz Cheney calling. It is about 8.13 [pm] on Tuesday the 16th. I’m calling to concede the election and congratulate you on the win. Thanks.”
Politico adds:
In an interview with POLITICO on Wednesday, Cheney said she had tried to call Hageman three times, but ultimately left a voicemail before she took the stage at her election night party. Cheney added that she never heard back from Hageman.

The venom runs thick in the Republican party.
