I read her Republican manifesto in her Op-Ed. She is to the right of Ghengis Khan. Unless they come up with a new platform, how do they expect to win without cheating? Even with all the corporate money.

Endorse "election integrity" and voter suppression/barriers to voting/gerrymandering while opposing HR1/S1 For The People Act. And learn the lessons--cheat without getting caught.
P.S. Mum's the word--don't tell the Republicans! Kidding aside, I'd read that a Republican strategist bemoaned the fact that a large number of Republicans liked hearing how billionaires could be kept out of politics, and this is one of the key elements of HR1/S1.
Good question. Genghis Khan established a huge empire and from what I read it was governed well, people were treated well IF they surrendered and paid up when told. Otherwise... Attila the Hun seemed more like a raider but I have not read much about him. When I was young I was to the right of Genghis Khan and having grown old and seen too much of the world and how it works, I am now to the left of Karl Marx.
I think her op-ed was a laser-focused attempt to write a new platform that will appeal to what might be termed "rational conservatives," though I acknowledge the oxymoron there. Sadly, I think this is a winning formula. The quiet majority of conservatives are sick and tired of the Trump circus and looking for any offramp they can find and Cheney is positioning herself to be that.
If that is a winning formula then USA is destined to remain a shithole country. Progressives and Biden can posture all they want with legislation that would bring America into the 21st century, but can sleep at night knowing it ain't going to happen. Because Americans, admit it or not, including so called moderate Democrats, don't want it to happen because their precious tax dollars might help Black and Brown people.

Genghis Khan
I also use Genghis Khan as a marker of rightist extremism. Who's farther right, Genghis or Attila the Hun?

And thus has it always been. We are kidding ourselves if we believe we have ever been anything but a white supremacist ethnostate.
