The far-right media has become very interested in Wyoming politics, but only because it smells blood.
Liz Cheney’s blood, to be precise.
But I’d caution anyone who thinks it’s time to write Cheney’s political obituary that there’s much yet to unfold before the state’s GOP voters go to the polls a year from now.
Can a three-term Wyoming congresswoman who has taken a principled stand against a disgraced former president to uphold American democracy return to the U.S. House?
I don’t see why not. Cheney has money and the support of her party’s traditional establishment.
It’s not the scenario faux-news outlets like Breitbart, NewsMax and other Donald Trump allies predict. They see Wyoming voters as sheep who will automatically choose Trump’s hand-picked candidate, thereby crushing Cheney.
Recently, Trump released this statement: “The easiest way to defeat deplorable Liz Cheney is by having only ONE conservative candidate run and WIN! Wyoming patriots will no longer stand for Nancy Pelosi and her new lapdog RINO Liz Cheney.”
No one doubts that Cheney’s vote to impeach Trump, combined with her decision to join the House panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection he incited, will cost her some votes.
But Cheney’s fundraising haul of $3.1 million in just the first half of 2021 is her personal best. She has more than five times the cash on hand as all of her competitors combined.

No barf alert?
WY already has RCV-enabled voting machines.
And there’s a push on to pass RCV.
Either way, the fix will be in unless WY voters do something to stop it.
Her political obituary had been printed soon to be released color her gone.
It's easy to be a loose cannon, when you have nothing to lose.
And she knows she has nothing to lose, that it's over for her - at least in the state of Wyoming.
