Wyoming state Sen. Anthony Bouchard has announced he will be running against Rep. Liz Cheney in the 2022 Republican primary.
In a news release announcing his campaign Wednesday, the hard-line conservative state senator said he was running to oust Cheney for her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump for his role in inciting a riot Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol.

Bush League Republicans will flood the zone to ensure Cheney wins, like they do for Grahamnesty and the rest of the traitorous scum.
Wyoming FReepers need to weigh in and express their opinions about Bouchard.
Bump
Yep, can't trust media reports.
If he’s good enough, he’s good enough.
Anyone else who enters is a GOPe plant.
Elected 3 times to WY Senate. Wyoming Gun Owners Assoc supported him in the past.
In that case, it’s closed, we don’t need more candidates.
Former Pavillion Mayor Marissa Joy Selvig. 231 people in that town. That’s a resume enhancer.
Might not do them any good in Wyoming. The state is solidly conservative and has no large urban location for massive Shazam! ballot drops the morning after.
Bouchard is a sponsor of this 2021 bill re election rules:

“The state is solidly conservative...”
Minus Teton County, of course -
Saw the interview with him on Greg Kelly last night— not very impressive!
If there are 3 other challengers, Cheney wins by plurality.
A single challenger and she loses.
The GOP will flood the zone.
“””Saw the interview with him on Greg Kelly last night— not very impressive!”””
I did not see the interview, but this is why Wyoming FReepers need to weigh in.
Far too many times we have jumped on the bandwagon only to find out later the wagon had no horses.
Any more than one challenger will split the votes and the incumbent will win.
So far, there are 2 potential challengers, according to recent articles.
Fortunately, most of them are absentee property owners who don't live there. Unfortunately, some of them do.
It doesn't matter if he's the second coming of Pol Pot. He's still be preferable to incumbent Deep State Cheney.
No more Bushes. No more Cheneys.
Trump needs to step in and make a selection.
He needs somebody to vet candidates, he has made some very bad endorsements in the past, McCain, Romney, McConnell, Grahamnesty, etc.
