RETHINKING - AUGUST 17, 2022 - LIZ CHENEY'S FUTURE


On August 17, 2022 the main political news of America was the defeat of the US Representative Republican Liz Cheney in the primary of Wyoming yesterday.

The Wall Street Journal posted a series of stories about Ms. Cheney and her confrontation with Donald Trump and also published an editorial column titled “Cheney, Trump and the GOP”.

The WSJ column starts “The Congresswoman lost in Wyoming, and the party divisions will haunt in 2024.”

And after that says: “Liz Cheney lost her Republican primary in Wyoming Tuesday because she bravely stood up to the stolen-election falsehoods of Donald Trump.”
“Mr. Trump targeted Ms. Cheney for defeat as he did the other nine Republicans who voted to impeach him after his disgraceful behavior on Jan. 6, 2021. He now has his revenge, as eight of them have lost or retired from Congress, but Republicans shouldn’t be so pleased. / Ms. Cheney is a conservative by any measure and she has the courage of her convictions.”

My opinion comments in the blog section of the WSJ Online were:

1) "Tuesday Wyoming’s voting for the Republican candidate for the representative to the US Congress is past. Now, we have to observe the next steps of Liz Cheney. Certainly, She will continue her fight against Donald Trump from another platform."

2) "This is not the end of Liz Cheney. It is the beginning of a new cycle of her political career.
 
3) "After the confrontation with the former President Trump, Ms. Cheney became a strong political figure of America. Some people consider her a traitor and others think that she is a hero."

Both comments received a series of positive approvals from other members of the WSJ Community,
