Wyoming is a supermajority state, with Republicans making up 86 of the state’s 93 legislators. But uniformity doesn’t mean unity, as the widening chasm between the state’s further-right Freedom Caucus and more moderate establishment Republicans has grown in recent years and begun to mirror GOP infighting nationwide.
For much of the Cowboy State, political representation will be decided during the Republican primary on August 20. This year, all of the State’s House and 15 of the State’s Senate seats are up for grabs. And while the candidate filing period does not open until May 16, Wyoming has seen an early surge of announcements from prospective candidates and some surprise resignations.
To moderate veterans of the Wyoming political scene like state Rep. Dan Zwonitzer (R-Cheyenne), the upcoming cycle is a test of how well Wyoming’s political trends reflect national ones.
“It’s the same thing that’s happening nationally in the Republican party. The Trumpian mindset is taking over and increasing in the legislature. The difficulty is, it’s a lot of rhetoric and not a lot of substance of reading the bills and collaborating and finding common ground,” Zwonitzer said.
A professor at Laramie County Community College, Zwonitzer will face a primary challenge from Ann Lucas, a member of the local Republican Party’s central committee.

“...moderate establishment Republicans...”
Stealth democrats. These scumbag individuals know that cannot openly win a seat in Wyoming as a democrat so they pretend to being Republican (or adhere to Republican policies).
These are the very worst type of politicians (Lizard Cheney). They only want power and control to rule against the will of the people. They fully deserve to have their head separated from their body. /spit
Seeking “common ground” is one of the things that has gotten us into the dismal state of affairs we are in.
Toss the pantywaists.
The USA Today rag whistling past the graveyard again.
Collaborating and finding common ground with commie pigs is never an option. Trump and his supporters are all substance not word salad platitudes like this POS.
Funny how the rinos think they are the “real” republicans and conservative patriots are “Trumpites”.
Trump supporters are the real conservative republicans. Period. Full stop.
Rinos are just establishment supporting back stabbers who posed as conservatives to get elected. Lisa Murkowski, John McCain, Boehner, Ken Buck, and far too many more are good examples what we don’t want in the republican party. Back stabbing rinos.
Stealth democrats. These scumbag individuals know that cannot openly win a seat in Wyoming as a democrat so they pretend to being Republican (or adhere to Republican policies).>>> And most likely these are the communist baby killers in the republican party.
