Perhaps the least surprising 2022 primary poll yet appeared in Wyoming over the weekend. A Mason-Dixon survey for the Casper Star-Tribune showed former Republican National Committee member and Trump endorsee Harriet Hageman leading three-term incumbent congresswoman Liz Cheney by a 52 to 30 percent margin. Cheney’s current star turn in Washington as the vice-chair of the House select committee investigating January 6 will likely be her swan song in Congress and perhaps in the Republican Party.
Initially, it seemed as if Cheney might survive in 2022 because so many Republicans wanted to be the instrument of Trump’s revenge, as I noted in July of last year:
The large field of opponents Cheney has attracted means she could win a primary with a relatively small percentage of the vote; indeed, she won her first nomination for a House race in 2016 with less than 40 percent of the vote.
That process of MAGA consolidation began in September 2021, when Trump endorsed Hageman. The new poll shows no one other than Cheney or Hageman with over 5 percent of the vote. Mason-Dixon managing director Brad Coker commented, “The big story is Liz Cheney is going to get beat … That’s a foregone conclusion.” Her job-approval rating among likely primary voters is a terrible 27 percent, with 66 disapproving, and 54 percent say Cheney’s performance on the January 6 committee made it less likely they would vote for her.
Cheney’s campaign has already resorted to pleas for Democratic support. Wyoming requires Republican affiliation for participants in Republican primaries, but any registered voter can change that affiliation up to and including Primary Day. The trouble is registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats in Wyoming by nearly a five-to-one margin, so there just aren’t enough Democrats there to save Cheney’s bacon given her very low status in her own party.

star? 😂😂😂😂😂😂🐎💩
FFS...members of Congress are NOT ‘stars’...whatever the hell that means.
Lez Romney has a big cowboy boot with a pointy toe getting kicked up her fat butt back in Wyoming 🤪
Well, the far left still loves her and that all that matters to her.
Actually the far left still hate her, but she’s just a useful idiot to them. She’ll still be one of the first up against the wall when the Revolution comes.
And she's just so damn petty. She was elected to represent several hundred thousand people, and instead has turned that into a personal crusade on behalf of her family and friends. That's just disgusting.
Awwww. Now that’s a REAL shame!
She doesn’t care about them..her $$$$$$$$ is coming from other places...
Is Pence going to come out and campaign for her?
They had HOLLYWOOD produce the hearings. LOSERS, not 'stars'.
If Liz was somehow the 2024 GOP presidential nominee, they'd call her every name under the sun and slime her to no end. I just wonder if she'd be surprised by it, if she actually believes they genuinely care about her just because she's their useful idiot of the moment.
She has a terminal case of TDS.
You nailed it. I was trying to remember that name. “USEFUL IDIOT.” History has been full of them.
Pelosi to Liz (hand on shoulder): “Dear, can I say one word to you and I hope you’re listening: Botox.”
She wont go away. Expect to see her in the future on CNN or MSNBC.
Liz, it’s not just you.
This is a referendum on your father and your beliefs, too.
I hope you can take comfort in that.
She’s a star of the new world Idiocracy.
Yup.
Remember the massive anti Dick Cheney campaign from the far left over Halliburton that went on for years?
She could enable legislation that can't be undone even if the republicans take the house and senate. Even with a power shift it would be unlikely the congress could get enough votes to overcome a presidential veto.
