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

These people literally cannot comprehend the idea of choosing country over party, or the extent to which Trump has abandoned what used to be the core tenets of the Republican party.
And people like Jennifer Stoddard-Hajdu are secretly jealous that Liz Cheney jumped off the clown car years ago and no longer has to waste her time trying to rationalize all of his treasonous and nonsensical statements, or worry about having to out-kook some Trump-worshipping kook who’s coming for her job.

>“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.

Ted Cruz tried to steal everybody’s votes on behalf of Trump. As a Texan I say you may remain rankled, republicans.

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

Rankle, rankle, rankle. Go Liz Go. High time that someone does a sanity check on the former Republican Party, now Trump’s family business. Sold their souls, too late now.

> "You can understand some people don't like the way Trump tweets or don't like his behavior. However, now she's endorsing Colin Allred over Ted Cruz, and Ted Cruz is a beloved figure in the Republican Party, and Texas Republicans believe he is doing a very good job in the Senate.”
How much of a vile piece of shit do you have to be for a fucking CHENEY to say “pass?”

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

Ok THIS Is actually a surprise. Zodiac Ted is her kind of Republican.

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.

Her and her father are partly responsible for what happened to the “Republican” party in the first place. It’s like.. having no horses to ride into town, after opening the barn door and firebombing the barn…

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.

Never liked any Cheney. But damn lady, maybe you can resurrect the party formerly know as republicans.

This … is … amazing. Ted Cruz is such a scumbag and he 100% knows better for everything he does. Even his dog hates him. Liz Cheney — just, wow.

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.

George W Bush coming out for Allred and against Cruz might actually make a big difference in Texas. I’m not sure how much they will listen to Liz.

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.

She was co-chair if the Jan 6 Committee. She knows what Cruz did. She knows.

Rankle them, fuck them, scorn them, and DRIVE THEM OUT. They have done nothing of substance for our country in at least fifty years. They deserve no platform, no quarter.

Cruz can get rankled.
For Texas, can this actually make a difference?
