Liz Cheney’s Future

I don’t know whether Liz Cheney will win or lose her primary election; the polls suggest she is likely to lose, but one never knows until the votes are counted.

But I do know that sometimes it is better to lose the small thing and win the big thing — and, in this case, the nomination of such a body as the Republican Party in Wyoming is the small thing. Liz Cheney already has won the big thing. The voters will pass judgment on Liz Cheney, and history will pass judgment on them. Cheney probably will have the better part of it.

It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world — but . . . Wyoming?
