Cheney's Jan. 6 committee spotlight burns her in Wyoming primary

When the House committee investigating the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol holds its first public hearing Thursday, Rep. Liz Cheney will stand out as the Republican who broke ranks with her party and with former President Donald Trump over his role in inciting the mob.

But that national platform and crusade of hers is contributing to Cheney's undoing with GOP voters at home in Wyoming, according to polls and interviews with state Republicans who say she’s becoming too identified with Washington politics that damage the de facto leader of her own party.

Cheney is trailing her leading GOP primary rival, attorney Harriet Hageman by 28-56 percent, according to a survey chartered by the Hageman-backing super PAC, Wyoming Values, and obtained by NBC News. The survey was conducted by Tony Fabrizio, who also polls for former President Trump. It closely tracks other polls in the state, according to Republican insiders.....

The race stands as a measurement of how little Republican voters care about the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, and it’s also a key test of the power of Trump’s endorsement, which lost some of its luster last month in Georgia.....

“Not only is Cheney getting creamed in the ballot, but Wyoming [Republican primary voters] are clear that there is no room for her to get back into this race,” Fabrizio wrote in a memo obtained by NBC News. “A huge 71% majority say they will vote against her, including 66% who will definitely vote against Cheney no matter who she runs against. With only 26% saying they will definitely or probably vote for Cheney, she has hit her ceiling on the ballot.”

Being praised by Pelosi should about due her in. But no mention in the article about all the out of state money (i.e., Dem/deep state support) she is getting. Throw the bitch out.

I guess she thought the dems would help fix her election.

[FlingWingFlyer]

She better get busy mailing out mail in “ballots” if she expects to win.

[Gumdrop]

The article infers that GOP voters seem to not care about the Jan. 6th ‘riot”. Oh, really? Surprise!!!!

The entire story about the Jan. 6th so-called insurrection is a bunch of nonsense.

If Wyoming has RCV-enabled voting machines, she doesn’t need to worry.

As long as Deep State is willing to risk getting caught stealing an election for her.

[Fester Chugabrew]

I truly hope Cheney is toast. Burnt toast at that.

[Brandonmark]

We’ll see how long it takes for her to make it “official” that she is leaving the Republican Party and join the Democrats. (In reality that happened long ago)

[SmokingJoe]

Cheney is finished.
She was finished long ago.
It’s not even going to be close.

[TornadoAlley3]

How many tax dollars were spent on this Hollywood mini series? Americans are exhausted by politics and do not want it in prime time. This will not help the left.

[BiglyCommentary]

Being Pelosi’s useful idiot sounds like a real winning strategy to run for reelection in Wyoming. /s

[spacejunkie2001]

Trump didn’t lose his luster in Georgia. And you have open primaries where the cheating Democrats pick her candidate oh, you will always have evil rise to the top. I sincerely hope Georgia, in the other 13 states, reverse open primaries give us back our elections

[SmokingJoe]

This is deep red, Trump country Wyoming, not San Francisco.

Cheney is finished.
She was finished long ago.
It’s not even going to be close.

We won’t know until we hear from 120% of the voters.

Lizzie Borden needn't fret. There's a cool $10 million a year waiting for her at MSLSD.

.......who broke ranks with her party and with former President Donald Trump over his role in inciting the mob.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

No bias here. Nope. FUNBC

[SmokingJoe]

We know already. And so does Cheney. She’ll lose.
Only question is if she’ll end up on CNN or MSNBC

[Recompennation]

She ought not be in a republican race. Worse than rinos complicit traitor

[Aevery_Freeman]

BSLSD!

[Rlsau1]

NWO will take care of her as she’s sold out for the big payday to come. This is just her initiation fee for all the clubs with all the elite.

First Texas rejects the Bushes, now Wyoming rejects the Cheneys. Hopefully this is a sign that the Republicans are transitioning away from these war hawk neocons that hijacked the party in the early 21st century.
