What other Republicans have stood up against Trump? When one crosses Trump he/she is going to get death threats.

I had a taste of speaking truth to power 50 years ago when I was on my small town's borough council protecting our pristine watershed. I got death threats in my small town and I spent many sleepless nights.

Walk a mile in Liz Cheney's shoes before you condemn her. As you say, her party, the Republican party is dead and she is one of the most outspoken critics of Trump and the Magat party.

I bet Trump cracks a smile when people condemn Liz.
