Liz Cheney promises success at 'making sure' Trump won’t win election for her kids’ sake
In her upcoming book, "Oath and Honor," ex-US Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) calls out her former GOP colleagues' refusal to separate themselves from former President Donald Trump, warning voters to ensure that the MAGA hopeful does not find his way back to the Oval Office in 2024.
The former Wyoming lawmaker made a promise to MSNBC host Rachel Maddow Monday night that Trump will not succeed in his quest to be president again.
"You look ahead to a year from now, heading into the next election cycle," Maddow said. "If Trump wins, if Trump is the nominee of the Republican party, and he wins and he's back in power, what is your life like and what do you think the noble, patriotic righteous fight is to save the country at that point?"

Cheney replied, "I don't even want to imagine a situation where he has won. I think we have to do everything we can to stop him in terms of, again, the kind of things we have been working on, working in a nonpartisan fashion. But I also think about it from the perspective of my kids. And, you know, there was a moment right after January 6th where I was having dinner with my husband and our two youngest kids who happen to be our sons, and I looked at my sons across the dinner table and I had this realization, you know, I grew up in a country where I didn't have to wonder if we were going to have a peaceful transfer of power in the United States. All of a sudden it occurred to me, my God, maybe they won't be able to say the same thing. That is why it is so fundamentally important we ensure Democrats, Independents, Republicans that we work together, we vote together, we make clear that Donald Trump is not an acceptable alternative. He is not the lesser of two evils. He is a completely unfit man for office. He's already shown us what he would do and he could never be near the oval office again."
Maddow replied, "It sounds like you really don't want to think about what resistance or fighting for your country or trying to hold on to democracy looks like with him in power. You won't go there."
Cheney said, "Well, we will be successful at making sure he's not elected president again."
