CASPER, Wyoming – A slew of campaign billboards along the highways of Casper reminds voters in the state's second-largest city of the bitter political war ahead: Rep. Liz Cheney's fight to keep her seat and thwart former President Donald Trump's target on her.

The August 16 Republican primary is still two months out, but Wyoming is already gearing up to become a battleground between far-right MAGA adherents and establishment Republicans.

"You've got those that want to take a very hard stance to the right, and those that are more moderate and want to be more inclusive, the Big Tent Republicans, and now you're seeing that competition rear its ugly head," Troy Thompson, a veterinarian, and Laramie County commissioner who's politically active, told Insider.

First, Matthew McConoughey and now Just saw a commercial on CBS, an actual commercial, advertising the Jan6th inquisition. This must mean they know there is little interest.

“ Why didn’t Trump and local supporters in WY run a ballot initiative last year, to close the Wyoming primaries so Democrats couldn’t vote in GOP primaries and vice versa.”

Because that requires actual work.

LOL! You just don’t show up in any of the polling for anybody. You also don’t appear at any of the speaking events various Republicans have held in the state. Somehow I don’t think you’ll be appearing in the primary vote either.

There were 23,000 Dem votes in the 2020 primary.

There were 105983 GOP votes in the 2020 primary. Both these for the US House seat.

If every Dem vote was for Cheney, the sum of the GOP primary votes would be 106K + 23K = 129K.

She would have 23K of those 129K or 17.8% before the count starts of the GOP votes.

There is a third GOP guy running. Polling at about 8%. That takes 8.5K votes out of the 129K and her 23K becomes
19%.

So out of the 121K votes remaining her opponent needs 61K to edge her out. The polling needs to show her opponent getting 61K / 106K (GOP votes only) or 57% of GOP votes.

This is not a high bar to get over. Defeating her even with every single Dem primary voter requires only 57% and that’s doable with her hated so.

5,000 words of wet drivel from BI and amazingly no mention how scum Cheney is trailing in the polls by 30 points. She’s rat toast.

Harriet Hageman 56%
Liz Cheney 26%
Anthony Bouchard 12%
Undecided 6%

Isn’t true democracy what they want?

After she loses the election she will have her choice of working on MSNBC, CNN, FOX, or The View. And that’s after her multi-million dollar book deal for a ghost written pamphlet nobody will ever buy or read.
