Profiles in Courage

In 1956 John F Kennedy wrote a book called Profiles in Courage.
“The book profiles senators who defied the opinions of their party and constituents to do what they felt was right and suffered severe criticism and losses in popularity because of their actions.”


Liz Cheney is one of those profiles in courage.

She understood the consequences of standing up to the excesses of the Trump Administration and was willing to sacrifice her political career to hold him accountable.

Republican leaders like McConnell, McCarthy, Graham sacrificed their integrity and values to pander to Trump’s lies and election fantasies. Their political careers were more valuable than standing up for what is right.

Cheney will go down in history for her political stand and willingness to put Country above Party.
In the long run, she will be better off than if she had sold out
Agree. The Republicans think that by defeating Cheney they somehow own the Dems.

There has never been any issue (save going against Rump) where Liz has ever sided with the Dems. So, for our side, her losing or winning makes no difference.

But her losing does make a huge difference to the Republican side. They can no longer claim the high road (if ever) on the side of truth or the Constitution. They have proven that they would rather kowtow to a petty despot than uphold the Constitution and the rule of law.

History will judge those Republicans who defended Trump
They had a chance to contain him and they blocked it

Cheney’s role on the Jan 6 committee will be her legacy
 
Republicans have not rid themselves of Liz Cheney
She will continue her work on the Jan 6 Committee and be front and center in presenting its findings
She is considering running for President if Trump chooses to run again. Rather than giving Trump a free pass to the GOP nomination, she will force him to debate a candidate who is well versed on his lies and misdeeds
What debate? There won't be any debate no need for one...Cheney won't get any delegates.
 
that was not an officially scheduled debate. It was intended to be a one sided kangaroo court. He did not duck it, he chose not to go because he knew what it was going to be.
Trump will have the same lame excuses for future debates

Doesn’t need them
Republican debates will be for all candidates

Trump, DeSantis, Cheney

when the moderator is actually a debater its not a lame excuse. get a fair moderator and he will be there every time, and win every fair debate. He destroyed Hillary and Biden in their debates. Biden did not win the 2020 election, it was a coup of the USA.

Chicken Shit
 
They fear any platform that doesn’t serve up softball questions
amazing!!!! you libs always accuse others of doing exactly what you do. Trump took on all questions every time he left the white house. Stood there for a long time answering every reporter. But senile Joe cannot answer a single question that is not preplanned and he has the answer written on his cheat sheet. you libs are the most disingenuous creatures on earth.

it's not an excuse, its the truth. Why would anyone agree to a one sided debate with the moderator clearly favoring one candidate? But ole Joe hid in his basement the entire campaign and you think that's just fine. you are a moron.
 
That’s too funny. A devoted D Party cultist like you adores Liz. Lmfao. Dick Cheney’s spawn who agrees with him on all things, you support. Of course you support this crazed corporatist imperialist warmonger only because she opposes Don.

Don really messed you up!
Trump made him support a pro life candidate. I guess he would do away with abortion to go against Trump.
