Liz Cheney Rakes In More Money From Northern Virginia Than From Her Home State, Wyoming (what a shock!)

Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney celebrated a major fundraising haul last week when this year’s first-quarter filing eclipsed $10 million raised for the endangered lawmaker in a competitive primary. After Cheney raised more than $2.3 million this year alone, her campaign war chest with $6.8 million in cash on hand four months before the GOP contest headlined the swamp-focused Politico’s Playbook.

“In previous cycles, it was common for Cheney to raise a few hundred thousand dollars in a quarter, mostly from Wyoming residents,” the Playbook authors wrote on Monday last week, adding, “with the national attention her race has received, money has poured in from across the country.”

Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct.

They need to take off the R jersey camouflage and just be the Democrats they are.

WE have to stop electing Assistant Democrats.

Particularly Amnesty Senators.

Dem Gubmit employees. They spend a lot of their paychecks keeping their beloved commie politicians from getting thrown out on their asses.

I’m not sure you can put lipstick on that pig, no matter how rich the campaign.

IIRC, her hubby and kids live in VA.

Maybe this is VA’s way of saying they don’t want her back.

NoVA is heavily Democrat. So, it is most likely Democrats that are funding her.

I hope that this is prominently ANNOUNCED in a TV ad. Picture this:

A TV ad opens with panoramic views of Wyoming’s mountains, interspersed with shots of small towns, ranchers and shopkeepers looking into the camera, the announcer intoning the values of America and Wyoming’s hard-working citizens.

Then fade to a picture of suburban northern Virginia with big mansions, corporate boardrooms and a glimpse of DC’s skyline - all the while the announcer is saying “This is Liz Cheney’s home. This is where she gets most of her money from. She’s forgotten about us. She’s more interested in getting her name in the news than what he need. Wyoming, we can do better!”

Northern VA is a huge libtard Leftist cesspool.
Nothing new here. It only highlights that a RINO can’t even get support from her own party and has to resort to Lefty money. G and G!!! /s

One county in Northern Virginia, Fairfax County, has more voters than all of Wyoming.

Perfect campaign ad. Northern Virginia is paying Ton of money to re-elect Liz Cheney, they don’t care who YOU want. Don’t let them buy Wyoming’s seat.

It should not be.

Only citizens who can vote for a candidate should be able to contribute to their campaign.

Liz Cheney went to school in McLean, VA. Northern Virginia is her real home.

Unfortunately she still has more than one challenger on the ballot.

Are any “third party groups” running ads to prop up the other challengers (other than Hageman) to split the opposition? I would suspect we would see that as part of Cheney’s strategy to hold on. It would actually smart politically if Cheney’s allies actually ran attack ads against her with one of the other opponents made out to be her best opposition in the ads as a divide and conquer strategy. Hageman has to run more than just an “anti-Liz Cheney” campaign - as Cheney could get as little as 17% of the vote and still win if the opposition is not united and split between all of the candidates.

Liz, Liz, as we have seen in 2016 election, Hitlery outspent Trump, but it didn’t help her.

Give it up, you can’t even get elected to dog catcher

The number one election reform should be that absolutely no out-of-state money is allowed for campaigning for any office to be voted for by the citizens resident in a state...

As a bonus feature, abolish the 17th Amendment...

As another bonus feature, upon voting, voters have a 1-inch black dot, that takes 30-days to wear/wash off, stamped on their foreheads...

As a final bonus, pass a law that makes it illegal for non-citizens to vote...
Whoops! My memory is hazy, at 88, but wasn't there already such a law?
