Doom: Liz Cheney trails primary challenger by 30 points in new internal poll
HotAir ^ | May 27, 2022 | Allahpundit

It should go without saying that Liz Cheney isn’t Brian Kemp.

Although I can understand why her supporters are clinging to the thin reed of hope provided by Georgia this week.

Trump’s multiple losses in high-profile primaries have Cheney supporters in Wyoming convinced that he’s now a paper tiger. Trump-backed candidates have lost recently in Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina and next door in Idaho. In Pennsylvania, his first choice in the Senate GOP primary exited the race after a scandal, and his second choice is mired in a recount…

[Local GOP leader] JOE MCGINLEY told Playbook that as a Cheney supporter, he’s been watching Trump’s losses pile up and learning some “lessons.”

“In some states, an endorsement helps, but it’s not the definitive action for the particular candidate,” he said. “Here in Wyoming, I would never bet against a Cheney.”

I would definitely bet against a Cheney in this case, even in Wyoming. The first key difference between her and Kemp is the nature of the states they represent. Georgia is 50/50 and Democrats have nominated a serious challenger for governor in Stacey Abrams. If Republicans there screwed around in the primaries and nominated a weak candidate like David Perdue, they might very well fumble away the state’s top office.

Whereas Wyoming is the most Republican state in America. Conservatives there can nominate anyone they like for any office with absolute certainty that they’ll retain that seat. There’s no incumbency advantage for Cheney as there was for Kemp.

I know someone that knows her personally and they questioned her about locking horns with Trump in a state that Trump is wildly popular and she said that she just hates him.

Dem crossover (changing parties on the morning of the election) was encouraged and made easy by the way we were handed cards, given instructions, and signed in. ID’S were checked in my precinct at least.

I used to be big time supporters of Bush & Cheney. One BIG service Trump provided was to bring out their true colors.

...he’s been watching Trump’s losses pile up ...

Oh, BS!

Trump's like 60 wins, 6 loses.

They ain't "piling up".

60-6 is enormously YUGE...

I'm rather tired of all the elites assuming that the rest of us are too stupid to think for ourselves, and only follow what Trump says like mindless drones.

I oppose Cheney not because she doesn't like Trump, but because she apparently believes that everything else the Democrats are doing to the country is less important than Trump not playing by gentleman's rules. She clearly doesn't see the Left the same way most of us do.

I wouldn't care if Trump forgave her, endorsed her enthusiastically, and said she was the ultimate MAGA candidate. I'd still want her consigned to political oblivion as rapidly as possible, and will be thrilled when she loses.

Really? Exactly how many of Trump's endorsements have lost? I'm not keeping score because it is waste of time, but I believe it is less than a handful.

By the way, this whole keeping score has a downside and you just read it in this article. The news media loves this stuff and they are given something to write about other than Liz Cheney's record.

"And if she finds a way?"

In the likely event that she loses the primary I'm betting that she will run as an opposing independent with the backing of the Democrat Party and the Bush Machine.

I would bet she will lose the primary, then run as an independent in WY and get the Democrats to put her back in the Congress.

According to one poll I saw, Cheney has a 15 percent approval rating in Wyoming. Everyone hates her. She's toast.
