It is a minor thing but I like that Liz is going to come in at under 30%, not getting out of the 20s just sounds better against an opponent who is at 66%.
What a dismal showing for the incumbent.
Cheney ran on being anti-Trump knowing full well she’d pay a political cost In Wyoming. But then she has higher asperations to begin with as she so often says “To make sure Trumo never gets close to the Whitehouse again”.......and frankly she’s never stopped barking at Trump supporters.
Ultra Conservative Adam Kinzinger vows to reclaim Cheney’s seat in ‘24! - FNC
frank ballenger. You are correct, and when conservatives elected a heroic figure Donald Trump who put in Judges who over turned roe, the establishment backstabbed him and may have actually killed the country. The selfishness of Romney, Cheney, the Bush family... may have actually killed us all. That said... they are now GONE. People who love this country will continue the fight, and we will do it without cowards and self serving self appointed elites.
Amen, my FRiend.

What do you expect TNR to say?
So freakin lost in the ozone…
From the people that considered the Cheney’s and Halliburton war criminals just a few years ago...
New Republic has no real clue what conservatism is nor does CheneyIdiot. Therefore, there is no real or actual defeat but that of Cheneyidiot being removed from office and rightly so. Karma is real.
Another repudiation of the establishment GOP and the Bushies in general.
Way to go Wyoming!
I have no reservations improving upon (or moving beyond) the term “Conservative”. That national ‘divorce’ so many speak of should first occur here, on the Right — goodbye Bush, Cheney, Kristol... We were never married to the Rats. The Rats are irrelevant.
Consider how the MSM courts the faux conservatives — it’s become a reliably abusive instrument to beat down the Country. Conservatism isn’t a bad thing — it embodies the goodness of Reagan, his disciples, an era. But it’s nonetheless just a term — and a term that’s been hijacked.
Terms matters. That’s how the Left manipulates opinions, perspectives, goals, academics, grants... The Right conceded the value of terminology — the terminology that ultimately frames the national discourse. Why? Because our terminology was rooted in conservatism — there’s nothing to explain because it’s so damn honest and simple. One is a conservative, and no further explanation is required. We had talkers, authors, pundits espousing the same damn POV over and over and over for decades — we remained comfortable & idle in the comfort and veracity of conservative truth. And that’s not to say conservatism by definition is a failure — the tenets it represents are perfect and immutable. But like all things, it — the term — has a window of attraction.
Enter DJT — Make America Great Again
We’re connected by conservative ideals, and Trump knew/knows that. But MAGA wasn’t about recycling Conservatism. MAGA was a revival — the Phoenix formerly known as Conservatism. We became connected with so many that existed outside the sphere of Conservatism. But that unfortunately came at a cost — we were betrayed by the faux conservatives we held close for decades — those unwilling to let go of Conservative décor. It was a rude awakening, but good riddance.
America First
It takes time for the Rats to adapt to the momentum they don’t control. The MSM messaging is awkward. It’s viewers confused. The narrative ambiguous. It’s a process that can take years.
We’re leaders of the generations we’ve created. Their playlist doesn’t need to include Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin. No doubt one day it will, but for today, we need to clear the path for the new ideas & energy that will ultimately ensure their Constitutional future.
The Founders gave us a Country. We need to think about its preservation without simply reciting what they’ve already stated.
The legendary and notorious House of Cheney HAS FALLEN!!

Hope springs eternal. But they usually go the other way.
AL BS!!!!

With Lizzies loss, I expect the value of my investment in kneepad stocks to rise...
And why would I care what the New Republic thinks about conservatism? They don’t get to define what *conservatism* is; it’s an alien point to view to them anyway.
... just as I don’t care what the Europeans or the Chinese think about the US.
