With ALL the GOPer people running for her seat?
Could she come out a winner next fall?
The Wyoming Republican Party voted on Saturday to no longer recognize Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) as a member of the GOP.
The state party central committee’s 31-29 vote followed similar votes by Republican officials in roughly one-third of Wyoming’s 23 counties, The Associated Press reported.
“It’s laughable to suggest Liz is anything but a committed conservative Republican. She is bound by her oath to the Constitution. Sadly, a portion of the Wyoming GOP leadership has abandoned that fundamental principle, and instead allowed themselves to be held hostage to the lies of a dangerous and irrational man,” Jeremy Adler, a Cheney spokesman, said in a statement to The Hill on Monday….

Cheney will face at least four Republican opponents in the 2022 primary election. One of her opponents, Wyoming attorney Harriet Hageman, has Trump’s endorsement…

Chance for a Democrat to win…if Liz run’s on a third party platform…just saying…would be funny
My Name Is Jack says
A Wyoming newspaper notes that Liz Cheney voted in support of Trumps policies 93% of the time.
That is more than such Trump stalwarts as Jim Jordan Elsie Stefanik , Paul Gosar and Matt Gaetz.
jamesb says
Cheney the dichotomy…….
You CANNOT in truth look at her as a Democrat or even a ‘RINO’
She IS about not accepting Trump for anything except who and what he is….
Scott P says
With 4 Trump lovin Republicans in the field I think Cheney pulls out a primary win.
I hope she does and then tune for President in 2024.. I can’t believe I’m rooting for a Cheney to have more influence in the GOP. Strange days indeed.
jamesb says
I agree Scott
I’m sure there will be an effort to get rid of as many running against her as they can….

Zreebs says
No, Speak for yourself James.
jamesb says
I Am…..
Keith says
Trump will endorse one and clear the field, it’s happening everywhere.
jamesb says
Polling right now would have her lose to either Chuck Grey or Darin Smith…..
Cheney’s advance is in money….
And voter recognition ….
But yea…
She’s in a tough one….
No doubt

The two people James mentioned aren’t even candidates in this race.
jamesb says
Yup SE….
The only polling for the race HAD the two I mentioned….
After Trump endorsed Harriet Hageman…..
Those two dropped out….
There is NO current polling for Cheney and those who STILL say they are in…..
We go back to the this….
The vote COULD be split if ALL these people STILL run…
Hageman would be the preferred single opponent one would think…
I missed the boat in just mentioning the polling angle…
But Cheney IS in a tough one…
Yea…..
Scott P says
*then runs* should say
Zreebs says
Yeah, I’m rooting for Cheney too.
My Name Is Jack says
I guess I would prefer Cheney over the Trumpite opponents.
Having said that,it’s really no big deal to me one way or the other.
As I noted earlier,Cheney voted with Trump more than uberTrumpites like Gaetz and Jordan.Shes turned on him as a personality but as far as her stands on issues compared to her opponents?
There’s probably no difference.
They are all very Right Wing Republicans.
Ghost of SE says
She’s the daughter of a war criminal, but even that is still better than the destruction of democracy wrought by the Trump people.
Democratic Socialist Dave says
Liz Cheney’s father (unlike DJT) did not even try to run for President.
jamesb says
A thumbs up for Cheney from the RNC…
let’s see how this plays...
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel on Thursday said she still considers Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) to be a member of the party after the Wyoming GOP voted to no longer recognize the congresswoman Republican.
“Obviously she’s still a Republican,” McDaniel said at a Christian Science Monitor Breakfast in Washington.
“But I get from a state party standpoint…
