Wyoming senator says ‘there are not enough Democrats’ to help Liz Cheney win primary

Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) on Sunday cast doubt that Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) could prevail in the state’s primary because “there are not enough Democrats” to propel her to victory.

In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Barrasso referred to Cheney’s outspoken rhetoric against the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the U.S. Capitol and her position as vice chairwoman on the House panel investigating the riot as potential trouble in the race ahead of the Aug. 16 primary election.

“Wyoming politics is very personal. It’s face to face. It’s town to town,” Barrasso told host Mike Emanuel. “The travel that I have done around the state, I think she has a lot of work to do if she hopes to win the primary.”

Cheney, who also voted to impeach former President Trump for his alleged role in the Jan. 6 riot, is fending off a number of Republican challengers, including Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman, in her bid to hold her seat in Wyoming’s at-large congressional district.

With Trump flirting with a potential 2024 White House run and many Republicans still backing the former president, Cheney last month began urging Democrats to switch their party affiliation in the primary to help her win reelection.

Barrasso is a McConnell crony, so he must have been deeply disappointed with this reality.

If there’s any Democrat to be found in Wyoming, he needs to have his head examined.

Wyoming despises Cheney and hates Biden with a white hot passion.

Cheney is in for a rude awakening after she loses the primary and the Dems toss her away.

About four registered Republicans for every one registered Democrat in Wyoming. Even if Cheney got 100.00% Democratic turnout for her on August 16, she'd still need a substantial percentage of the GOP vote to win. It ain't going to happen, she is completely toast.

Needless to say too, she won't receive anything approaching 100% Democratic turnout for her in a GOP primary, not even close.

Is she not headed for The View? When will the announcement be made? It seems like such an obvious fit

For DemocRATs, missing voters are no problem.

“Barrasso is a McConnell crony,”

He must be deeply saddened.

Democrats and/or the voting systems companies can rig machines remotely.

I dont think she’s greatly worried just yet.

I can see a spinoff of The View with Ana Navarro, Meghan McCain, and Liz Cheney. It will be the “conservative” version of the show.

Sadly that there are too many Republicans that elect Barrasso.

Liz Cheney has asked Dems to change party and vote for her in the GOP primary. Wouldn’t she be more honest to change parties herself (to the Dem party) and not put the burden of switching on the Dem voters she’s courting?

CNN will have her on every so often for the rest of her life.

“She was a Republican, and she thinks...”

Hogwash!

Why? Maybe in some folks minds. But she’s DC to the core.

She’ll be a fallen hero and making bank on tg trashing Pres Trump til she does and any other real Conservative.
