Former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., a once-rising star in the GOP who fell out with her party over her criticism of Donald Trump, slammed the former president as an “unrecoverable catastrophe” in her call for other Republicans to vote against him this year.

“We see it on a daily basis, somebody who was willing to use violence in order to attempt to seize power, to stay in power, someone who represents unrecoverable catastrophe, frankly, in my view, and we have to do everything possible to ensure that he’s not reelected,” Cheney told “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl.

    Neocons have lost power to the Tea Party yo.

    You’re pretending like Paul Ryan didn’t stand up to the Tea Part and get deposed. Or McCain get discredited as Trump rose up.

    But sure, forget our political struggle at your own peril. You need us this election.


    Two party system. The only real action Neocons have is to vote Republican or Democrat. Democrats are very much against our values (abortion, and historically Democrats were stupidly antiwar and this wouldn’t have supported Ukraine. But I’m glad to see Democrats turn around on that. Etc. etc). But there’s a lot of alignment now if you wish to take advantage.

    Neocons are a subgroup of the Republican base you 100% should be trying to switch over. It’s politically stupid to ignore this opportunity.
