Cheney’s unconcealed loathing for Donald Trump and her notorious vote to impeach him back in January played very poorly with the party’s base voters, who remain intensely loyal to the ex-president. When is backstabbing regarded by anybody as a stellar quality?
Moving into the 2022 midterms, it’s critical that Republicans turn out its base voters to achieve the goal of capturing the House and perhaps winning the Senate. Moreover, the GOP needs the base’s contributions. After all, money is the mother’s milk of politics. Liz Cheney’s high-profile position may well be drying up some of that critical fundraising.
