(Newsmax TV's "The Count")

In the current Republican Party leadership in the House, it is lead, follow, or get out of the way, and Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is going to have to do the latter, according to political strategist Dick Morris and American Conservative Union chair Matt Schlapp on Newsmax TV.
"This whole talk about split in the Republican Party, there is no split: It's 99-1," Morris told Saturday's "The Count" about Cheney's lack of support within the House GOP. "The Republican Party is solidly behind Trump, and the Democratic and liberal media efforts to portray a split, is ridiculous."
Cheney is going to lose her House leadership position not just because of her "animus" against former President Donald Trump, but because she just is no longer a part of the GOP "coalition," Morris and Schlapp told host Heather Childers.

Morris also noted Cheney also "orchestrated" the "fallacious" and "disingenuous" narrative of a potential coup by Trump supporters seeking to challenge the election results.____________
"She orchestrated a letter sent by 10 former defense secretaries including her father – that she was the organizer of – warning that Donald Trump might politicize the military – a thinly veiled warning that he might be leading a coup d'état against the elected government, or her worries about that," Morris said.
"Of course, Trump never contemplated that. It's Liz Cheney's paranoia and anti-Trump feelings. But after sending that letter, she might as well have attached a letter of resignation as chairman of the conference of the Republicans."
Nevermind leading House Republicans, Morris concluded, "she's a dead duck in Wyoming."
