Washington (CNN) Liz Cheney entered this week knowing it would likely be her last as a member of the House Republican leadership team. "I think it's a mistake to think that she's going to fade," said one person who knows Cheney well. And the prevailing House GOP message of unity over all will continue to heighten the tension between Cheney and the rest of the conference. The damage done to her brand within the House Republican conference has been significant since her colleagues last voted 145-61 in favor of keeping her in leadership. And I think she's a person of integrity, who follows her conscience and speaks the truth.
