A place to comment on the primaries

I spent a bit of time with Harriet about six years ago. We were in the Transfer of Public Lands Movement. (...) She is going to be an awesome Senator. She is a Constitutional expert.

Thanks for that info - so it isn't just a humiliating loss for the bad guys, it's a win for the Constitution!

[Hildy]

Not Senator.. you know what I meant!

[vivenne]

She just conceded. Thank goodness.

[vivenne]

3,495 Democrats voted for her.

I have a feeling Liz is going to attempt a third party run as an “independent” for her congressional seat.

[Kevin in California]

It’ll be a futile attempt. There are not enough Dems in WY to steal it.

Liz will just show herself as the big loser she is.

I think WY is a state that has a "sore loser law".

On to Alaska

Cool because I just want Liz to go away until she makes a misguided attempt to run for the GOP nomination in 2024.

Liz can appear on CNN all she wants because I’ll never watch it.

[Fiji Hill]

Liz, could you please point to Rock Springs, Ft Bridger, Torrington, Pine Bluff and the Medicine Bow Mountains on a map?

Or Centennial, home of the Old Corral, the world's greatest steakhouse.

Dems could write in Lizard's name but there aren't enough dems to make that work.

Misguided is a very nice adjective. I don't think a Pence/Cheney ticket could crack 20% in primaries, and the general wouldn't be better. Democrats aren't going to vote for someone who voted with Trump 90% of the time, and Republicans aren't going to vote for someone on the 1/6 Committee.

I>A pipe dream to hope that Murkowski comes in 5th.
A "BROKEN" pipe dream that is😜😛

[CarolinaReaganFan]

Lez Cheney will have a talking head job on msnbc and will continue to be able to afford that second sheet cake at breakfast. it was disgusting that fox showed her speech, i switched over to newsmax. I hope trump can get OAN back on the air.

[Observator]

FOX AND AP CALLED IT. LIZ IS OUT.

Luckily voter fraud didn't work this time. I think the Dominon machines have a threshold. Bottom line - if we like the result, it's valid. If not, it's fraud and you can take that to the bank.

[CarolinaReaganFan]

worthless paywall

[HamiltonJay]

All Cheney’s been doing foer the last year and a half has been auditioning for her paid pundent post political gig,,,,

[BigEdLB]

Lizzy went below 30. 83.5% in. 65.3-29.9

[HamiltonJay]

Looking at the results so far https://sos.wyo.gov/Elections/Docs/2022/Results/Primary/2022_Statewide_Candidates_Summary.pdf

And trying to understand TEton and why it’s such an outlier. So far everywhere else she has lost by huge magins even in more populous counties but Teton actually has Cheney winning by more than 2-1

Given this is such a huge outlier from the rest of the state I would love for a local to explain this to me.

What about this county makes it so it’s so pro Cheney? Nearly all other counties reposting have Liz losing by at least 2+ to 1. Many far far more to 1 losing, yet this county has Cheney winning with over 2 to 1. Why?
