In reply to the discussion: From Esquire, by Charles P. Pierce. I've Had Enough Of Democrats Rehabbing Dick and Liz Cheney [View all]Solly Mack
(93,247 posts)118. Where does it say he said to reject their votes? Answer that. And, Liz Cheney wouldn't reject that because she
agreed with him during the Bush years, so why would she reject the unitary executive now?
He said nothing, absolutely nothing, about cottoning to her if she had rejected the unitary executive.
What he did say was this:
If Liz Cheney had gotten up at the rally in Wisconsin and denounced Project 2025, or rejected the Unitary Executive doctrine, which has been her Daddy's chew-toy since he was covering for Iran-Contra, I'd have been truly impressed. If she had voted for, and not against, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, while she was still in Congress, that would have been another gold star on her resume. If she had voted for, and not against, the Equality Act, that would have been another.
That he would be impressed.
Which is nothing like "cotton to her" if she rejected it.
He said he'd be impressed with the act of her doing it.
I've got the original Esquire article opened.

people can change--if 10% or even 5% of the rethuglicans follow Cheney's lead, we win easily.

Save it until after the election. We have a common enemy to defeat. We can sort our differences after.
