What will Liz Cheney be doing come 2022?

It seems almost unimaginable she'll be in the House, and while I'm sure CNN would be willing to pay her better than Jeffrey Lorde, its hard to imagine she'd do it for the money since daddy seems to be in her corner.

Do you think Murdoch will pick her up?

Or will she and Yang somehow make common cause?

It all seems pretty absurd to me, but I'd hate to see her become another Kasich.

She’s going to run for President. Her base will be conservatives who hate Trump and moderates who aren’t automatically in the Democratic column. Depending on what happens to him, there could be more of them by then.

It’s one strategy.

Sounds likely.

As a third-party candidate, she'd pull a lot more votes from a Republican than from a Democrat.

Sort of like Ross Perot.

@Thinkerbell She won't run as an independent as she doesn't want to be a spoiler who will be responsible for electing a Democrat. I think she'll run as a Republican in the anti-Trump lane. She's banking on Trump being so toxic by then, anyone associated with him will be tainted. Like I said, it's a strategy. If Trump is on trial but still the most popular GOP candidate, Cheney's campaign will just be performative.

If Trump is out of the picture, Liz wouldn't stand any chance against DeSantis.

He could conceivably take her as a VP running mate, as a gesture toward party unity.
