Liz Cheney Will Lose Her Senate Seat, But Watch What Comes Next
I agree with the basic concept here. What Liz Cheney is doing is quite brave; she is, indeed, very likely to lose her Senate seat.
But let’s get real. She’s from Wyoming, the reddest state in the union, where Trump won with 69.94% of the votes in 2020, more than 2:1 over Biden. His supporters aren’t sitting too well with the activities of the January 6th Committee that Cheney is co-chairing, which appears to be in the process of sending their man to prison, perhaps for the rest of his pathetic, crime-driven life.
The good news for Cheney is that she is now a national hero. Trump lost the federal election 46.86% – 51.31%, and his approval levels have only fallen since then. That the people of Wyoming don’t like here is almost completely meaningless.
Who knows what opportunities await, but it’s only reasonable for her to expect something weightier than a senate seat from a heavily White Evangelical Protestant, gun-toting state of 581,000 people, many of whom think Trump is literally God’s gift to the United States.
She hated Trump before ever sitting on the committee, that’s why Pelosi appointed her. Unfortunately, there are 75 million who know Trump took this country in a better direction, regardless of her feelings about him.
My belief is that your 75 million figure has been significantly reduced since the 2020 election and Trump’s (criminal) reaction to it. We’ll see.

Trump is more popular then ever. Liz wants to run for President in 2024 and knows if Trump runs she will lose in the primaries. Easy to see she is trying to hurt him so she has a chance. We all see this.
That’s an interesting theory. Not sure “we all see this.” More here: http://www.2greenenergy.com/2022/07/06/liz-cheney-senate-seat-2/
What I can’t understand is this, supported by about every climate scientist on the globe: If the US stopped producing 100% of all CO2, it would change global temperature by -.246 degrees Fahrenheit or -1.137 Celcius. According to Forbes, by year 2100 the change would be negligible. Why are we doing all the green revisions for this? Our money can be better applied elsewhere where it would really change the lives of people short term and long term.
I’m quite sure is no correlation between what the U.S. does re: carbon emissions and global warming to the thousandth of a degree.
Be this is it may, without doubt, this an international problem. The United States represents ~20% of the world’s GHG emissions. The solution isn’t for one nation, say the US, to cut out its fossil fuel consumption immediately, and have people freeze to death in the winter. The answer lies in global decarbonization in the shortest period of time feasible.
Outside of Asia, the world has made some progress in this arena.
