Column: Rarely do we see the kind of “concession” speech that Cheney delivered tonight. It was, as she had promised, a “road map” to her future plans for denying Trump a return to the White House.

Some grudgingly acknowledge the loss with more than a touch of anger. Stacey Abrams in 2018 condemned the “rotten and rigged” election system, and said flatly: “So let’s be clear, this is not a speech of concession because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper. As a woman of conscience and faith, I cannot concede that.”

But rarely do we see the kind of “concession” speech that Cheney delivered tonight. It was, as she had promised, a “road map” to her future plans for denying Donald Trump a return to the White House. Far from conceding, Lieberman said that “As I see it, in this campaign we just finished the first half and the Lamont team is ahead. In the second half our team — Team Connecticut — is going to surge forward to victory.” Deploring the dominance of partisan politics, he said: “…Tomorrow we launch a new campaign to unite the people of Connecticut — Team Connecticut — Democrats, Republicans and independents so we can go forward together to solve our most serious problems together.

Clearly Wyoming didn’t agree.

Why do politicians think they have a voice to say who can and cannot run for president isn’t that job for the true American People we Definitely Need Term Limits……..

Her dad was responsible for the deaths of millions but yeah sure hero blah blah blah

Liz Cheney's loss may be the worst News for trump. She could become the President he begs to pardon him!

Liz Cheney is repugnant. She must think well what she will do because she may be assessinated. There are a lot of very nervous people out there.

Stop with the BS headlines. She conceded her race. You’ve got to stop both-siding everything, especially when it’s about the health of our democracy.

She has to cancel Trump for her father's criminal sake.

She’s going to run for POTUS and the GOP will all fall in line

There is NOTHING positive about losing an election by 38 points. J6C has been fully rejected as the Marxist hoax it is. Turns out Americans have no interest in Washington Swamp Rats telling them who they have permission to vote for President. Buh....bye!!!

bye bye Cheney your family has done enough damage to the US

38 Point Defeat. J6C is a complete failure. Maybe she will throw her hat into the ring for President and receive further humiliation. The arrogance is nuclear on this one.

So yet another politician gets voted out and compare themselves to a great leader, which she is not. So know begins the begging of money from millionaires and billionaires to run for Prez. She'll lose that Primary, then she'll beg again 4 money 2 run 4 Senate. Pathetic it is

If she ran against trump in 2024, I would switch parties just to vote for her in the GOP primary.

Hell has no fury like a women…..! Look the f.. out!

She has more honor than the entire Republican Party. I don’t ever see the Republican Party shaking the destructive forces within the party. Like rabid dogs they will tear the party and our democracy down for the benefit of a few

Gee, I missed it.

Cheney is relitigating the Iraq war. That's the reason she's after Trump - because he criticized her father's war. Pure and simple. Her anti-Trump campaign has absolutely nothing to do with her claimed love for democracy. Don't buy her martyrdom, people.

Her political career is over

Liz free now to go full “Carrie” on her Republican colleagues!

Imagine having 4.6 million followers and barely getting 256 likes of your own BS

The Republican Party is no more! Pathetic and disgusting just like the 1930's and 1940's in Nazi Germany! God help us all! Liz run in 2024! Fluck Trump and the pathetic sackless freaks who got their knees dirty for their orange turd!

what a joyless life mission

Well the question has been answered. There is no intelligent life in Wyoming.

I am glad she stood for country before party but remember she help create monster call trump when Obama was in office. They let trump get with everything while in office until January 6 .

This woman have more balls than most of her male colleagues. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Bye Liz. Good riddance.

Liberal media is in love with the warmonger because she hates Trump almost as much as they do

The chains are off. No more ass kissing.

Good luck to her. I expect she'll find out that she's actually despised by progressives once she outlives her political usefulness. And she burned her bridges with conservatives, so... not sure who is left to ever vote for her.

Thank you, RepLizCheney, for your courage, charisma & laudable character. We need to purge this beautiful country from its cancer - Donald Trump - an existential threat to our democratic republic, a scofflaw & narcissist who has no moral compass, & enabled by GOP cowards.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dick Cheney war monger and CEO caused more damage and killed more people than any American in the past 50 years. Liz Cheney following this path? Good Riddance. Our problem is letting the UBER WEALTHY DC connected dominate politics on BOTH sides of the aisle.

She's hateful, fearful, classless. Bye!

She was clearly pissed. Did you miss that part? 😂😂😂😂😂

The people have spoken...thems the breaks...the warmonger Cheney family is done unless the Dems want them...

Sing the truth and name the liars ~ Salman Rushdie Liz did so.

Darth Vader’s daughter is the future. Makes sense.

Rarely does a loser have this much hubris.

Respect! RepLizCheney
