“We’re so disgusted with Republicans that we honestly don’t care who wins if Trump doesn’t run,” said Sany Dash as she worked on her Trump merchandise stand.
Ms. Dash’s store, Bye Bye Democrats, was busy on Saturday as CPAC attendees rummaged through jeweled MAGA clutches, plush elephants, and a tapestry with a picture of Mr. Trump drinking coffee and reading, “The best part of waking up is Donald Trump is President. “(” We probably sold 1,400 Nancy Pelosi toilet paper rolls here, “she said.” Our toilet paper is always a hit. “)
But Ms. Dash, an Indian from New York who described herself as a Trump supporter of “Day 1”, was currently more angry with the Republicans and especially with the representative Liz Cheney from Wyoming, who has urged her party to join the the former breaking president. Ms. Dash said she is preparing to open a store in Wyoming in the next two months and call it Bye Bye Liz.
“Liz Cheney is a descendant of a warmonger,” she said. “Sorry, we went to war with Iraq and so many people have died – millions of lives have changed.”
She continued, “I don’t care what she has to say now. It’s like the Bush girls in Austin. I don’t care how you woke up in Austin just because you can get along with Michelle Obama, but your dad killed a lot of people. Excuse me, I don’t want to have anything to do with you. “
Like all dozen of CPAC attendees surveyed, Ms. Dash hoped that Mr. Trump would run for president in 2024. There are several other Republicans she likes, including South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem – “I like Kristi Noem because she is fighting,” she said, calling her a “female trump card” – but she said she would only then the GOP remain if Mr. Trump or someone who promises to lead like him is the candidate.
“I mean, I’ve heard the rest of them – if they actually get through, that’s wonderful,” she said. “If they don’t, I’ll get out of this party like everyone else. As simple as that. “
