Via The Blue State Conservative
In the Disney Star Wars movies, Daisy Ridley plays Rey. A Force-gifted heroine descended from the bloodline of Emperor Palpatine. In the end, she chooses light over dark. Liz Cheney descends from another dark force named Dick, and she did not choose the light.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney is a notorious Establishment stooge from whose orbit and influence Liz has not strayed. And surrounded by Never Trumpers and the GOPe Establishment, there is little evidence she can be turned.
More than a few of her fellow Republicans in Wyoming do not think so either.
Liz lost 59-6 to primary opponent Harriet Hageman in a recent congressional straw poll. That’s 90.1% to 8.9%.
I get it, this is just a straw poll, but her Trump-backed challenger is doing victory laps. Trump’s endorsement,
“Harriet is a fourth-generation daughter of Wyoming, a very successful attorney, and has the support and respect of a truly great U.S. Senator, Wyoming’s own Cynthia Lummis. Harriet Hageman adores the Great State of Wyoming, is strong on Crime and Borders, powerfully supports the Second Amendment, loves our Military and our Vets, and will fight for Election Integrity and Energy Independence (which [President Joe] Biden has already given up). Unlike RINO Liz Cheney, Harriet is all in for America First. Harriet has my Complete and Total Endorsement in replacing the Democrats number one provider of sound bites, Liz Cheney. Make America Great “gain!”
Cheney has been censured by the State party and disowned by about one-third of the state’s Republican County committees. That’s not a ringing endorsement, and it all adds some weight to the perception created by the straw poll. But Liz will have insider money, and you need more than just registered Republican to win an election these days.
Cheney already has over 5 million to help fend off Hageman with seven more months before the primary. And Hageman must deal with more than just Cheney Money. State Senator Anthony Bouchard, a self-styled conservative (I have no clue if that is accurate), is also primarying Liz, as are a few others.
Seven Republicans are vying for the seat, so what’s the deal with the straw poll? It looks terrible for Liz but maybe not that bad. All that competition dilutes the challengers. And having 3.8 million cash on hand after the Sept 2021 reporting won’t hurt.
As much as we’d like to see her go, Bouchard and Hageman will need to capitalize on her gaffes to have a shot, but she is sitting on the J6 commission, so there should be ample opportunity to take a few more shots at the incumbent.

Like anyone really cares about liz…. seriously???
Don’t worry about ol’ Liz. I’m sure she’s already got at least one energy patch corporate directorship lined up, as is dickering with CNN, MSNBC and Fox as to the best way to utilize her on-screen talents.
You can be sure Daddy Dick and Uncle W have a couple of prime director’s chairs already lined up for her.
It is kind of important, though, that such an absolute vermin – someone who hates 90% of their party’s base – be defeated. The GOP establishment (which also hates its base with a deep passion) is expert at lining up a slew of ostensible primary challengers to split the Not-Cheney vote. I believe that one of her good friends is already on board as a bogus “challenger”. Wyoming’s primary system picks the top voter-getter, even if they get well under 50% of the vote – like, 16%. So if they can get enough “splitter” candidates, she could still win the primary. That’s how Lindsay Graham retained the GOP nomination last time around. He had 6 supposed (bogus) challengers.
Never forget that they hate you.
That is how Steve Cohen keeps the “black” congressional district around Memphis. Too many blacks run against him and dilute the black vote. Ironically, it was the dilution of black votes that caused the change to a winner take all primary decades ago.
Lez Cheney
Mittens just announced his support for her and will be fund raising on her behalf.
Well, Mitt’s personally nearing his ‘use by’ date, and he sure doesn’t need the money, so I guess he supporting Liz out of sheer conviction.
That guy is probably the main impetus behind hatred of Mormons.
How quickly the memory of Harry Reid fades.
Harry was just a prick. Romney is a weirdo.
I’d rather hear that her days on planet earth are numbered. I really don’t care about her political career. She is a treasonous piece of shit.
Hope her and her father are run over by a steam roller….
SEE HER ((FATHER )) hear #
I never watched the Disney Star Wars movies.
Wasn’t her name Rey Mixer originally?
Disney, started as the Devils tool and has grown exponentially overtime. No use for that evil corporation at all.
Every time I wonder what kind of idiot is concerned by the tag line question, I see the by-line Blue State Conservative.
Who’s counting the votes ?
In life some things just won’t flush. She seems to be of that ilk.
