What to watch: Cheney in trouble while Palin eyes comeback
AP ^ | 8/15/22 | WILL WEISSERT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elections in Wyoming and Alaska on Tuesday could relaunch the political career of a former Republican star and effectively end the career of another — at least for now.

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney is the vice chair of a U.S. House committee seeking to expose the truth behind former President Donald Trump’s relentless efforts to stay in power after losing the 2020 election, and his role in fomenting the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Cheney’s determination to prevent Trump from ever again serving in the White House has left her fighting to hold on to the House seat she has held for three terms. Trump has made Cheney’s ouster a top priority, endorsing a challenger and traveling to Wyoming to try to seal the deal.

In Alaska, Sarah Palin jumped on a vacancy in the state’s congressional delegation as a potential springboard back into elected office. A victory in Tuesday’s special election to fill the remaining months of the late U.S. Rep. Don Young’s term could send her to Washington as soon as next month.

The AP is shining the Bat Signal on the underside of the clouds that hang low over Gotham City.

What is the AP talking about? The eligibility requirements for president are set forth in the Constitution. A person must be at least 35 years of age, a natural-born citizen, and a resident of the United States for at least 14 years.

That’s it. Trump checks off all three boxes. So there is NOTHING Cheney can do to stop Trump from running again.

If Sarah gets in I instantly want her to be the speaker. I would love to see a staunch Trump ally as speaker.

I like that idea. No, I love that idea. Let’s just hope that the next House has more MAGA Republicans than spineless Republicans.

What happens in Wyoming tomorrow will tell me a great deal about what November will bring.

Don’t be so smug about the Cheney and Palin elections as if the electorate can decide the outcome. The DOJ can interfere with impunity and decide the final outcome.Nothing is sure any more in American politics. Always remember the 87000 armed and willing-to-kill IRS agents ready at DOJ”S beck and call. If they can steal your country from under your feet and give it to illegals, they can steal your freedom with ease.

Only one poll counts as we know but a recent UW poll has Liz losing by 30 percent. If accurate she’s going down hard tomorrow.

On War Room today, Peter Navarro fears there may be some shenanigans in Wyoming and the election may be closer than you think.

Hope he’s wrong...

Hope there will be an official “Goodbye All Cheneys” post tomorrow night as the Cheneys slink into the abysmal RINO history swamp.

May their FOSSILIZED footprints be recognized in the distant future as the DINOSAURS they had become in 2022. They are anti American-warmonger profiteers. No more Bushes. No more Cheneys. No more RINOS. ULTRA Make America Great!!

MAGA!
UMAG!

American registered voters in both Alaska & Wyoming have the grand opportunity to cast their votes today in the Mid-Term Primary Elections. The voters, regardless of their political party slant & loyalty should cast their votes for “ONLY” POTUS, Donald John Trump endorsed & supported candidates. “Now is the time for all Americans to come to the aid of their country and show their support for POTUS, DJT!!!

Democrats, Biden, his DOJ & FBI cohorts are heading this great nation to Socialist, Communist destruction with each passing day!!! Is this what you want for yourselves and your children? Americans are getting killed and jailed all over the world, as are Jews and Americans being shot to death in Arab attacks on Israel. Folks, Iran, Russia, China, North Korea are out to do the USA in. Biden is weak, weak, weak!!!

Your votes being cast for Trump today can stop this Biden, Garland, Wray, madness!!! These enemies of the USA would never have lifted a finger against the USA if Trump was our current POTUS!!! Wake Up, Wise UP. Support & vote for Donald John Trump supported candidates today and at every other Primary yet to come!!! “AMEN”!!!

If Cheney loses she will be a permanent employee of MSNBC while preparing to run as a democrat in the next election.
