Liz in Cali – Digby's Hullabaloo

Reagan country is not Republican country anymore

Liz Cheney spoke to a zombie political party on Wednesday and got a rousing reception from California Republicans. You can imagine how her speech would be received in Iowa. … or Wyoming:

For Democrats this isn’t a matter of high blown “values.” It’s survival. But if she wants to explode the Trump cult that’s fine with me. Good luck with that.

Also, never forget this too. Cheney is a champion of democracy and deserves credit for putting her career on the line to defend it. But everything else? Not so much:

There was a debate in Wyoming last night. They couldn’t allow the public in because of all the death threats — to Liz Cheney.
