When lifelong Wyoming Republican Tage Benson and Democrat Chamois Andersen met for the first time at the Owl in the Attic antiques store in Laramie this past weekend, they quickly put their political differences aside.
Their home state's embattled Republican congresswoman, Liz Cheney, needed to be supported, they agreed, for standing up to former President Donald Trump and contesting his false stolen-election claims.
“This is where Democrats and Republicans can come together,” said Anderson, 51, a wildlife advocate who often disagrees with Cheney on policy.
"She is a hero," said Benson, 67, who was working the store's register. He told Andersen his Democratic friends were talking about registering as Republicans to vote for Cheney in the party's primary election next year. "I'm going to talk everyone into that," he said.

She’s not out yet because there hasn’t been an election for her seat.
If I lived in Wyoming I would vote against her in the primary. But I would also vote against her in the general if she made it that far.
It’s one seat...and the future of the party.
Einhorn is Finkle?
- all the more reason for Trump (snip) to endorse one alternative candidate, convince the serious alternatives in the R primary to get out and fund the lead R challenger.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One challenger is the key.
I snipped out the RNC because they and NRCC will be backing Liz.
Besides the votes from herself and her daddy it appears she will get one more vote if she decides to run in 2022
A hero????? More like a sworn enemy of regular folks like me.
Yep, consider the source. The moment you see Reuters or AP you know what’s coming.
Enough with the dynastic brats in politics.
Lifelong RINO Tage Benson is more like it. We have our share of moron voters in the GOP!
Another useful idiot. She’ll have her 15 minutes of fame and then she’ll be kicked out the door like the rest of the 15 minutes fame hogs!🐖
After all they're her pals.
Dems in Wyoming? Other than the liberal left faculty at the U of Wyoming there aren’t many.
This is what I hate about Primaries. So easy to cheat. But we need them. Trump would not have been president without primaries.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why the Republican Party is in the shape it is in. So many that say they are Conservative or Republicans are neither.
Oh she’s done are there actual democrats in Wyoming kinda like finding a Republican in Vermont I guess they’re around but I’ve never seen one
I wonder where they dug this guy up from! Agreeing with this Democrat seems to have given him his 15 minutes of fame.

Tage and Chamois can STFU and wash my truck.
Reuters on their knees as usual.
Even people without direction need a “hero.”
