Liz Cheney turns to Democrats to save her hide

Pete Jenkins, 54, a contractor who’s lived in Wyoming for three decades, said he identifies personally as a Democrat — he did not vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020 — but is registered as a Republican just to have some influence in Wyoming politics. He said he intends to vote for Cheney — and has heard from lots of other Democrats planning to do the same.

“I think it’s a fairly popular thing,” he said of the party-switchers-for-Cheney movement.

Cheney needs as many of them as she can get.

A progressive organizer who helped get the Democratic vote out for Gordon in 2018 crunched the numbers based on a hypothetical three-way race between Hageman, Cheney and Republican state Sen. Anthony Bouchard. The person said Bouchard — because he remains popular among the MAGA set even after Trump endorsed Hageman — could play spoiler by drawing as much as 15 percent of the vote.

That could open the door just enough for Cheney to slip through, the organizer said.

Anthony Bouchard is being paid to stay in the race.

There's no evidence of that anywhere. But we all know he is, to assist Cheney.

Just like Walker in the NC Senate race.

Wonder if Deep State is panicking because it hasn’t managed to get RCV shoved down WY voters’ throats...

But what’s to worry?

The state has RCV-enabled voting machines, doesn’t it...?

Golly, they do...

Someday, somehow, these Rats will pay. Including those on “our” side who are assisting them.

Wow, sounds exactly like the Bush family.

Mr. Jenkins must be on crack. The citizens of Wyoming hate her.

The citizens of WY have RCV-enabled voting machines.

Deep State doesn’t have to care what the citizenry wants or how it feels.

The Wyoming primary is AUGUST 16, 2022. So Cheney will have 5 more months to twist in the wind.

It never ceases to amaze how there’s always a RINO in the shadows to fill any gaps the rats might need for their ongoing treachery.

The GOP could put a serious dent in Party Switchers if we simply paid for our own primary elections.

Our money?

Our rules!

It is puzzling. It indicates to me these aren’t people of principle, they are people of expediency.

And there is never a shortage of Expedient Politicians.

Traitors, every last one of them. Bouchard just tried to push a gun bill through Wyoming that was very bad for gun owners and I had seen a mailer telling dems to switch over to keep sleazy liz in the House. That’s how they ended up with a rino governor.
