Liz Cheney suffers impeachment vote blowback at home: 'Couldn't win a primary today for dog catcher'
The Washington Times ^ | Friday, January 15, 2021 | S.A. Miller

Rep. Liz Cheney’s vote to impeach President Trump put her political future in jeopardy back home in Wyoming, revealed a state GOP official.

Doubts quickly surfaced about her viability in the 2022 GOP primary after she announced her support of impeachment and then led nine other House Republicans on Wednesday in voting to impeach Mr. Trump for inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

“She couldn’t win a primary today for dog catcher,” said Martin Kimmet, chairman of the Republican Party in Park County, Wyoming.

Ms. Cheney, the No. 3 House Republican leader and the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, went from a rising star into a political nosedive virtually overnight.

“I’ve gotten a lot of phone calls, more than you could count. I have not gotten one in support of what Liz Cheney did,” Mr. Kimmet said. “What she did was wrong. Period.”

Mr. Kimmet wasn’t convinced. “I don’t care how she spins it,” he said. “What she did was wrong.”

So if the democrats control the elections, who will they allow to win upcoming elections? Republican who opposed them, or Republicans who sided with them? Will they care if there is obvious cheating, because the media will report otherwise.

I hope she loses that dog catcher election as well.

And they'll print enough copies to defeat her anyway. No need to vote anymore. Ballots will be printed by the hundreds, thousands, and millions if need be.

No chance. WY only has 1 congress critter. It is an at large, statewide district. Only blue area is Jackson Hole and not enough of them to save her.

Wyoming voted overwhelmingly for President Trump, with 70 percent of the votes going for PDJT. I repeat, 70 percent!

This was political suicide for Lizzie. What an idiot.

Has there been a serious recall movement started yet?

I’m not talking about just a bunch of online polls, I mean a real, get signatures of registered voters on a ballot petition effort?

I just looked, and it seems that Wyoming doesn't have a recall law, so she can't be recalled.

The GOP is protecting her because she speaks for them.

She doesn’t care...she’s got her gig with CNN. This was just a stunt to ingratiate herself even further.

PS. Please keep your mask on gorgeous!

Why wait for November? That is too late and would give the seat up to a full Democrat. The primary is when you need to root these RINOs out.
