Cheney's loss may be the second worst for a House incumbent in 60 years

Too bad Lez Cheney's loss didn't include her citizenship.

There was one Congresswoman who voted against the declaration of war on Japan. Anyone know how badly she got stomped in the 1942 election?

Cheney is grasping at straws attempting to spin her loss into some broader national Lincolnesqe victory for Democracy. Like Gutfeld said last night on the five, a friend needs to tell her she lost bigly and to stop acting like a nut with TDS.

How she lost after that uplifting and energetic commercial he daddy made is beyond me.

Liz Cheney was CRUSHED! Thank God and President Trump for that.
And she raised for more money than Harriet Hageman did.

Too bad she didn’t make history as the worst incumbent loser

“When news of Rankin’s vote reached the crowd gathered outside the capitol, some patriots threatened to attack the Montana congresswoman, and police escorted her out of the building. Rankin was vilified in the press, accused of disloyalty, and called “Japanette Rankin,” among other impolite names. She stood her ground, however, and never apologized for her vote.”

Yes, Liz compared her defeat to Lincoln’s last night at the theater :-(

[HamiltonJay]

Didn’t do a deep dive, but was pretty clear in TEton county she definitely got very obvious crossover voting looking at this primary compared to previous ones in terms of vote totals…

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 1-2k votes in that county were almost certainly cross over

[Vigilanteman]

Yeah. Are you as sick of the citizens of the New World Order and Deep State Swamp trying to claim dual citizenship as Americans that I am?

[TnTnTn]

But the leftist cabal will keep her going to continue the destruction of the USA…

[Vigilanteman]

Yeah she carried Teton County handily as it is home of federal workers attached to the National Parks plus multimillionaires and their employees who own ski lodges around Jackson. She also carried Albany County, home of Wyoming State University, marginally.

[blue state conservative]

If you remove the quarter of Cheney votes that came from democrats crossing over her real margin of loss was much higher.

[Vigilanteman]

She didn’t run for re-election in 1942, knowing she would be badly beaten. Mike Mansfield, who would later serve as ambassador to Japan, won the seat.

[Joe Boucher]

She deserves the title.
Second worse ass whoopin in decades.
