The ‘other’ primary: Three Dems vie for Cheney seat
Wyofile.com ^ | 6/7/22 | Rone Tempest

Sweetwater County Democratic Party chief Meghan Jensen is a concrete contractor, a former school cook and a soccer mom who views both leading Republican candidates for Congress as “elitists” who are out of touch with working class Wyoming.

Fremont County Native American activist Lynnette Grey Bull is seeking a second straight run as the Democratic Party nominee but encourages her supporters to “cross over” and vote for Republican Liz Cheney in the Aug. 16 primary.

Casper attorney Steve Helling supports former president Donald Trump but is running for Congress as a Democrat. He thinks Trump’s chosen candidate Harriet Hageman is a “hypocrite” because of earlier statements she made calling Trump a “racist” and a “xenophobe.” Trump has since apparently forgiven Hageman, but Helling has not.

This will keep some Dems from helping Cheney like they helped Kemp & Raffensperger in Georgia.

Sounds like at least there’s one Democrat with more common sense, about pro-America President Trump, than Liz Cheney.

I’d like to see Helling and Hageman go head to head.

This is why conservatives need to find and run MAGA red Donald Dem DINOs in ‘Rat primaries.

Why fight half a battle?!

In some states they have no political registration and have open primaries meaning you can vote for any candidate you choose. Because of the success of the late Rush Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos, activists have learned how to crossover vote in primaries to help position a weaker candidate.

Some states like the Soviet of Washington, California and Nebraska have an even more insidious primary systems. Top Two primary. The top 2 primary vote getters advance to the general election regardless of party affiliation.

Yes, it means you can have 2 from the same party running in the general election. In the 4 years or so we’ve had this terrible policy, we’ve seen it happen statewide.

I’m not sure if the antiquated National Grange has a presence in your state, if so, watch the bastards closely they were the driving force out west along with the usual leftists subjects pushing the Top Two Primary system.

Looks like at least one candidate is taking your advice.

Cheney should be part of the Democrat primaries. She's not a Republican, especially since the good people of the Wyoming Republican Party threw her out of the party.

I hope Helling wins. Then we have at least a partial victory either way.

Yes, we need more Trump Democrats. Even a few Larry McDonald Democrats.

Unfortunately, the red waves of 1994 and 2010 eliminated largely that kind of Democrat.
