I don’t think it is any great secret that Wyoming Republican Liz Cheney is in a lot of trouble. Much to her surprise, her ridiculous and vindictive vote to impeach President Trump for the January 6 “insurrection,” was met with anger and contempt by her home state voters and, surprisingly, by her home state GOP. I say surprisingly because usually, a state GOP is very hesitant in going after a member of Congress from their own party. In February, the Wyoming GOP formally censured her. In August, two county GOP organizations voted to withdraw their recognition of her as a Republican.
President Trump has endorsed a formidable challenger for Cheney, and that endorsement has reduced the primary field down to three real candidates. This is important because Cheney won her 2016 primary with 38% of the vote, besting the other eight candidates. It is also important because President Trump out-polled Cheney in 2020: 193,559 to 185,732. This indicates that Trump’s endorsement will have a significant impact, particularly when the state party apparatus will not be aiding Cheney.
So, if you were running for reelection and your own state party had disowned you, and there weren’t enough Democrats or Independents available to cross over to save you, what would you do?
Well, if you are Liz Cheney, you head to Texas for a fundraiser headlined by President George W. Bush and some of the people we grew to detest during his time as president: Karl Rove, Karen Hughes, and Harriet Miers. Also on the marquee is former Texas House Speaker Joe Straus, who epitomized the conciliatory, go-along-get-along, bend-over-and-grab-the-ankles brand of conservatism championed by President Bush.

Harriet Miers - thank God we dodged that bullet!
Cheney is a Bushie and knows nothing about Wyoming and its people.
Is her Dad still alive?
Roberts and Miers, says a lot about his first choices. His old man appointed Souter.
Harriet or Robert’s...nothing was dodged
Geesh...all this is, is a money making scheme.
When was the last time Liz was in WY?
I hope the people of WY are smart enough to vote her out.
I still think it should be Felony Bribery to accept funds from any entity that can NOT legally cast a vote for you, because, well IT IS!
“ I hope the people of WY are smart enough to vote her out.”
**********
She won the last time with only 38% of the vote. And, she may win again if she can persuade three or four candidates to run against her. That’s where all that cash she’s been raising will come into play.
As opposed to Gorsuch and Kavanaugh...lemme guess, that’s somehow Mitch McConnell’s fault instead of the guy who appointed them.
Gorsuch and Kavanaugh are better than the other three. Gorsuch, much better.
Squash the Lizard, Wyoming voters!!
I love to see democrats and RHINOs waste their money. I know all the money in the world is not going to change my vote to remove Cheney or the vote of many others here in Wyoming. The woman is an arrogant little -itch whose primary interest is Liz Cheney.
“As opposed to Gorsuch and Kavanaugh...lemme guess, that’s somehow Mitch McConnell’s fault instead of the guy who appointed them.”
Actually, it’s the fault of EVERY CONSERVATIVE who sat around and did nothing (other than enjoy their pool) while letting Leftists raise their kids (in the schools).
Trump needed to go back 2 generations to find anyone not brainwashed, and that simply can’t be done. Trump never had a chance.
She’s running in 2024.
