Even as Republicans look poised to win congressional majorities, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is predicting the rise of a “new conservative party” should former President Donald Trump mount another run for the White House.
Cheney recently lost her primary to represent Wyoming's at-large congressional district to Trump-endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman, garnering less than 29% of the vote.
The Washington Times has more on what many would argue is a quixotic plan:
“I think that the party has either got to come back from where we are right now, which is a very dangerous and toxic place, or the party will splinter, and there will be a new conservative party that rises,” Ms. Cheney said on NBC's “Meet the Press.” “And if Donald Trump is the nominee of the Republican Party, the party will shatter and there will be a conservative party that rises in its place.”
As to whether she would throw her hat into the ring as a third-party candidate, Ms. Cheney responded: “We will do whatever it takes, as I said. He will not be the president of the United States again.”
Ms. Cheney, vice chair of the House panel investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol, accused Republican nominees who are backed by Mr. Trump of being “more dangerous right now” than their Democratic opponents.
“I think you've got to remind people that everyone has an obligation, an obligation to defend the Constitution, an obligation to do what's right,” she said. “Right now, you've got a lot of Republicans, in particular — Democrats do the same thing — it just happens that our candidates are more dangerous right now.”
Cheney also gave her unvarnished opinions on the current House and Senate Republican leadership.
In September, Cheney told an audience in Texas that she will leave the Republican Party if Trump becomes the nominee in 2024.

What a cow…like daughter like daddie…..
Mooink! A bovine crossed with a swine!
Who is she to say Trump will not be President again! She is pathetic! Nothing but a privileged RINO!
So, Liz, start packing! The country will gain with you gone!
Lizzie Cheney Took an Axe
And gave her Party forty whacks,
When her Party saw what she had done,
Her Party gave her forty-one!!
Apparently she is assuming she is still relevant, doing an interview on Meet the press is far from headline news, just leave Liz!
More like Meet the Depressed.
Oh, Liz, just go away. You are not relevant. And you would be a laughingstock if you plan to run against him. And who are you to think you are the conscience of anyone who votes Republican.
Liz, do not let the door hit you in the butt as you leave to form the Democrat-Lite party.
Liz Cheney would get MAYBE 1% of the vote from Republicans. No chance to hurt Donald Trump. That said, I still would prefer him to be the king-maker.
& the party is named:
RINO League
Benedict Arnold Party
Backstab.
DC Estd
I think she saw the rise of a new conservative party when the voters in Wyoming ousted her.
a new conservative party? they won’t have her either. . .
Liz represents the old country club republicans who were out to line their pockets & never here for the people. There is a new republican party which is the American 1st party. She is s has been and no longer relevant. Shut up & go away Liz.
This self-absorbed, narcissistic, devil spawn of Dick Cheney vastly over rates her power and control. She has only to look at the landslide that dethroned her to see how Republicans feel about her yet she carries on like she’s God’s gift to the Republican party. She needs to fade away and stop embarrassing herself.
In her dreams!
“A new conservative party” that follows HER lead – that’s what this has always been about…
She has that wicked Jezebel Spirt of rebellion in her.
Okay, here’s a question Liz. What is the difference between your new and unknown party difference to America first? is it the Rhino party? To be honest, MAGA is not going away, matter of fact it is ingrained across party lines and Ind like myself. Trying to be important in the face of almost total rejection by your voters, does not make you a bullhorn and make people listen! You are now a traveling tour of a comedian, that’s not funny!
Liz, you don’t even know that you are the best gift that Trump has ever had. You are pushing voters to Trump and you don’t even know it (So sad).
A new conservative party lol. Really! True conservatives will not follow elite Rino’s like you Cheney. Why don’t you and the rest of the Rino’s just join the Democrats already.
lizzy is full of shyte just like her dada!
I feel bad for Liz, but her predictions have not been going so well lately. She just looks like a sore loser now. It is time to try and walk away with grace and dignity.
Liz is right there will be a new conservative party and it will be based on populist principals and he will not be a part of it and eventually all the RINO’s will be gone and America will prosper again.
If she is in it, it won’t be a “conservative” party.
Is poor Lizard Cheney living in an alternate universe or is she merely (1) autistic, (2) deranged, (3) paranoid, or (4) demented?
