Die Unterstützung von Liz Cheney in Texas verärgert die Republikaner

Wow, the drama! Can’t wait for the fallout.

Real talk. Cheney endorsing Allred is quite the shocker.

I understand why she would endorse Kamala. The choice for president is binary, and she spent many months investigating Trump’s Jan 6 crimes.

But a Democratic Senate candidate? That’s a step further than I imagine anyone thought she’d go.

The Cheney name is persona non grata in Republican circles IMO. Pretty sure what Liz and daddy Darth are doing endorsing Kamala and her endorsement of Allred is just their way of hitting back. They don’t really have any other recourse

>“I have been Republican my whole life. The first vote I ever cast was for Ronald Reagan in 1984,” Cheney said. “When you look at somebody like Ted Cruz, he’s shown that he’s willing to abandon what I think is the most important conservative principle, which is being faithful to the Constitution, and so I think there’s an extremism there that certainly people, leaders of our party in the past, would not have endorsed, would not have supported.”

She realizes that Trump alone is not the problem. Voting all MAGA out of government is necessary. Vote blue for both houses and in state races.

Good. I imagine that’s the point — upset the Republicans who go along with the anti-democracy train wreck their party has become.

For Texas, can this actually make a difference? 

I agree with this terrible person who voted against democrat policies her whole career until she left congress and tries to stay relevant

Ted Cruz was neck deep in sedition and pushed to deny certification of the vote on January 6. He spearheaded the Senate effort to overturn the election.

He should have resigned, his entire staff should have resigned. He has no respect for this country, for the rule of law or the constitution.

And Liz Cheney knows it.

And- she probably knows a lot more than we do about his involvement in January 6.

I have to give her credit where it’s due. Allred is better for Texas and the US than Cruz. Ted Cruz is a toxic presence in our federal government.

No bid contracts. She’s evil by association.

Guys, you all hate Trump too. You all know he’s a giant piece of shit. Wouldn’t you rather be the minority party for four years and get out from under his thumb? Why are you still Stanning for this guy? Just rip off the band-aid. Endorse Harris, tell Trump to fuck off, and come back in four years with a re-vamped, quality Conservative Party.

For fucks sake, guys.

When the rioters on Jan.6th rifle thru your personal papers as they ransack congress, and say on video “He’s good he’s good, he’s one of us, he’s one of us”. You know they’re fucked up.

I think she wants maga out. Time for the voters now to make to either reject or embrace maga.
