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.

Cheyenne, if it hasn’t already, will soon become a mecca for White, Liberal, Hipsters, that will come when all the tech companies and their promised money start moving in.

Like they’ve been doing all over the country. Almost like it’s a plan.

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

Nah! She will be a regular screaming/whining/screeching harpie on CNN or MSN fake news.

She will pretend to be a republican who hates the evil Trumps!

She will also be hired by some Deep State company which hates America to be a lobbyist for them.

Dude, there’s some very significant WEF members in Wyoming. Hansborg Wyss lives there…Harrison Ford has an 800 acre ranch there, shall I continue?

Conservatives in Wyoming are under assault.

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

Voters in Wyoming will use ES&S paper-based voting systems to cast their ballot starting in November 2020.

It is harder to game the system when you don't have Dem controlled precincts to cheat on a large scale like they to in Chicago and Philadelphia. They don't have the boots on the ground.

Also, the Dem folks who run these things don't care that much about Liz Cheney to keep her in.

She's desperate. If she only had to rig machines, she wouldn't have to make a pathetic plea for Dem votes.

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.

What?! No Jennifer Rubin?

Probably.

But dems would then be put in place to abandon actual current democrat candidates, optics probably would be bad.

Further the dems would lose her as a RINO wedge, and that would be devastating for them.

Seems to me, if what this man says is correct, that there is NOTHING she can do to change things at this point. She’s gone all in holding bubkis. She’s done. If I lived in that state I’d sooner cut my throat than vote for that traitor.

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

I hate all these dames, but I will say that is not the worst idea in the history of television. You might be able to sell that one to CNN. They can put Joy Reid on for “diversity”.

Cheyenne is the Hail Capital of the US.

Plus it’s pretty windy.

They need to rename those two shows as “The Cluck” and “The Cackle.”

The Denver metro area is already full of tech companies. The White libs won’t want to move up to “hick town” Cheyenne.. But you might be right.

“Ironic now that the Dems love a Cheney isnt it.”.

Yes, and as long as she’s useful, they’ll use her like a cheap whore.

Doesn’t matter to them. It adds to the mystique.

Ever been to Iowa? For me, absolutely beautiful. Nothing but cornfields and farms.

Liberals moving into Des Moines like they’re giving away money.
