Outgoing congresswoman Liz Cheney may have less than a month left in office, but it’s clear her political future is far from over, much to Donald Trump‘s dismay, we’re sure.
A new poll has found Cheney, along with Ron “Don’t Say Gay” DeSantis, leading Trump by several points in a hypothetical 2024 GOP presidential primary lineup.
The poll, which was conducted by the Deseret News-Hinckley Institute of Politics, surveyed 802 likely Republican voters in Utah and found DeSantis with a strong lead at 24.2%, followed by Cheney with 16.4%.
Trump, who announced his third bid for the White House last month, came in third at just 14.6%.

Of course, that’s just one random poll in one random state, but it serves as yet another indication that Trump’s popularity is clearly waning two years after being voted out of office and one month after the GOP saw disappointing midterm results, failing to take control of the Senate and barely winning the House after several of the one-term, twice-impeached ex-president’s hand-picked candidates lost in key races.
The poll arrives shortly after a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey found 20% of voters believed Trump was the biggest loser of the 2022 midterms, followed by 14% who said said “MAGA” Republicans lost the most.
It also comes at the same time the January 6 committee, where Cheney serves as vice chair, announced plans to make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice now that its investigation is winding down.

Chairman Bennie Thompson told reporters this morning that the committee hasn’t decided exactly who will be referred, but the panel is expected to meet later today. Asked by reporters whether he believed any witnesses perjured themselves, Thompson replied, “That’s part of the discussion.”
Cheney, who declared Trump “an enemy of the Constitution” after he called for terminating the founding document last week over debunked claims voter fraud in the 2020 election, is currently on the shortlist for TIME’s Person of the Year.
Noticeably absent from TIME’s list is Trump.

It is amazing that this website let’s crap like this in the comments.

Where is good, ole, nutty cam? Perhaps he’s been institutionalized to cure his conspiracy theory that everyone who disagrees with him is just one evil mastermind with multiple accounts and no life.

“but it’s clear her political future is far from over”
um, yikes? I hope it is over as soon as possible, and I hope the same for Donald Trump. Liz Cheney deliberately focused the Jan 6 investigation on Trump to the exclusion of going after numerous Republican cronies who will re-emerge with a much more focused and terrifying anti-LGBTQ+ agenda
in conclusion: STOP GIVING LIZ CHENEY GOOD PRESS

I’d much rather Liz over Trump or DeSantis any day. Never thought I would ever say anything positive about a Cheney. She’s our spoiler.
thebaddestbabby
that’s what infuriates me tho: you don’t have to like or support ANY of them! You don’t have to prefer or “rather” ANY of them! Their place in government is not inevitable. So many of these monstrous ghouls float by because they are the “decent” Reps or “the lesser of two evils”
As for Liz Cheney being a spoiler, I tend to think she would hurt dems more than help if she ran for prez
LumpyPillows
I see your point. She only hurts us if she wins. Right now, until Trump is dead, I think we need to support anyone who hurts him. He is dangerous for the planet. He’s that bad.

Just remember this about Liz Cheney: right up until Don the Con’s violent attempted coup to overthrow a legitimate US election he lost to Joe Biden, Liz Cheney was a loyal little soldier to him and voted with Don the Con most of the time. Just repeat that to yourself: she was a loyal Dump supporter and voted with Don the Con most of the time.
Liz Cheney did not speak up about his dalliances with Putin, his abuses of power, his ongoing corruption, his incessant lies, his horrendous foreign policy, his grotesque mismanagement over the Covid-19 epidemic, or much else. So she is as tainted as all the other Trumpublicans, even though in the aftermath of January 6, she had a change of heart and has tried to do the right–correct, as well as truly conservative–thing and honor the US Constitution and our system of laws by investigating that lying, treasonous sack of offal!

@Kangol2 AGREED!!

I wonder if there is some alternate universe where VP Lynne Cheney and President Jeb! Bush spend most of their (public) time condemning rap lyrics, naked statues in D.C., and drag queens. While quietly shoveling more money at the rich.

Funny how absolute evil makes friends of enemies. Yes, we remember. No, I will never vote for her. I will endorse her sanity over irrational evil any day, however. Reality isn’t black and white, although that is the way our society seems to be headed.

Can’t wait to see the Ladies Of The Red Hat Society of Atlanta catapult for the exits after Hershell loses his heroic fight for whatever he thought he was runnining for.

It’s over, Herschel Walker lost. Thanks to a majority of Georgia voters, Rev. Dr. Raphael Warnock increased his margin of victory in the runoff (to 51.3%), his total vote margin (80,000 votes this time) and is now elected for a full 6-year term! Congratulation, Rev. Senator Warnock!
LumpyPillows
So relieved. We can’t relax or rest for a minute, however. These people never stop.

seeing the meme of trump saying he is not a good loser all I could think was but you are still a loser, loser

To hell with Trump and everyone who idolizes him, America is over him, he’s yesterdays news.
My2CentsWorth
Don’t be too sure.
It would be good if he IS yesterday news – except there are folks to take his place who are also extremely bad.

Donald Trump deserves to have every minute of the rest of his putrid life made miserable. He is an evil creature.
