@baba. May it be so, regarding Liz Cheney. I haven’t much liked her staunch conservatism, but I sure appreciate her integrity now. Does anyone have a read on where this is going for her? I have wondered if she might become an Independent, as her party has all but turned its back on her.
@lowtide There is a prediction for June that a republican is going to leave the party. Anyone who leaves is a smart cookie.
I haven't been thinking much about Cheney specifically. I think this move by the GOP will tempt 1 or 2 Senate Republicans to become Independents. @lenor, Lisa Murkowski is a strong candidate for the June defection. She won as a write-in candidate in 2010 after being primaried, so her brand is powerful enough that she doesn't have to show any fealty to a major party. Plus, Alaska voters approved ranked choice voting last year, and that method of voting makes it easier for non-partisan politicians to get traction.
@coyote I just watched the video and all I could think of is Joe Biden and the peace and calm surrounding him. He is so much what we needed today. I bookmarked this video to watch whenever the darkness becomes too much.
Perhaps Liz Cheney will end up getting the Profile in Courage Award like Romney did. I guess it depends upon what happens next but she sure is courageous. I admire her, don't like her politics but admire her stance within her party.
@baba I really want to see what happens to Ron Johnson. He and Gaetz. Horrible men.
