TRUMP ENDORSEMENT WILL RESHAPE WYOMING RACE AGAINST LIZ CHENEY

The crowd of Wyoming Republicans vying to oust Rep. Liz Cheney is expected to clear out once former President Donald Trump chooses a favorite, a development that could sink the embattled incumbent.

More than a half-dozen Republicans have announced campaigns against Cheney in the 2022 GOP primary, threatening to divide the vote and boost the congresswoman to a fourth House term. But Republican insiders in Wyoming predict the field will winnow once Trump delivers an endorsement. Indeed, state legislator Chuck Gray, among the first and most active Republicans to mount a campaign against Cheney, would likely fold his bid if Trump endorsed a competing primary candidate.

“It’s something Chuck would strongly consider,” Gray campaign spokesman Rory McShane said Thursday, adding: “When [Trump] endorses a candidate, the others will drop out or their fundraising will dry up immediately.”

Cheney was bounced from House Republican leadership on Wednesday after weeks of tension with GOP members over her constant war of words with Trump.

The Establishment always counted on its preferred candidate riding up the middle in a crowded field (that it intentionally created).

But we now have a powerhouse to endorse a single candidate.

The registration deadline is next May so don't expect to see an endorsement anytime soon. But when it happens, Liz Cheney will be toast. Though I have my suspicions she'll have made the decision to retire from Congress by then.

I suspect there are enough RINO’s in Wyoming who will keep their name on the primary ballot in order to split the GOP vote in hopes that Liz Cheney survives.

Also, there will be some Democrat crossover voting so it is not a slam dunk that Cheney gets beaten in the 2022 Republican Primary Election.

Agreed, but Trump’s not going to be around forever. There should be pre-primaries or caucuses where the MAGA’s would choose the best of them. Or, even better, the candidates (or at least the ones who weren’t leftist plants) would bury their egos and agree on who was best.

Liz Cheney is dead woman walking. She just don't accept it yet. She will when she's bounced in the elections next year.
Every GOP congressperson that voted to impeach President Trump is finished.

No, not delusional; she intends to be a king or queen maker. Maybe third party or write-in movement. If she can peel off a few percentage points from the GOP then the Dems will have a win.

RINOS are done. I don't care if Soros and the Dems put in a hundred RINOS in Wyoming next year, Liz Cheney will still lose. She'd better join the Lincoln Project pedophiles now.

Trump hatred is not a winning issue because it’s never been about Trump. It’s about American individuals who see their government cares nothing for America or American values.

Not if WY is using voting machines with Ranked Choice Voting enabled software...

If Trump is going to endorse then endorse early. He waited till the last minute to endorse Wright in the Texas 6th special and while she came in first it was with less than 40% of the total Republican vote. While that got her into the runoff, there is no runoff in Wyoming. And there was no incumbent either. So an early endorsement would be vital to keep the field down to two or three candidates. If he waits until shortly before the primary and there are six or seven candidates then Cheney will win.

She’s an idiot...

She won’t announce her “retirement” before polls show it’s a lost cause... if then.

You know that, I know that, the people who support Trump know that... but to everyone else, this is a concept they just don’t grasp.

It’s not about Trump it’s about the agenda he advocates.. America First..

Is the Don’s endorsement going to be swayed by who buys the most “ Trump “ coins or watches?

I cannot see any circumstances that Liz Cheney wins. You are assuming voters in Wyoming are stupid. They are not. They know exactly what is going on and President Trump overwhelmingly won Wyoming.

She'll team up with Sen. Delecto. The ultimate 2024 loser ticket; now in stereo.

She’s a tool. It’s about the people behind her, neocon globalists using her to peel off votes against a Trump candidacy in 2024.

She’d freely be a complete tool and elect a Rat versus Trump.

People need to open their eyes on the GOPe. Stay awake! 🐸

WYORINO.COM scores legislators based on their adherence to timeless Republican values.
Chuck Gray scores 100%.
