‘Then Cowgirl Change Your Ways Today…’
It might be too late for Liz Cheney to change her ways. She is trailing her Republican opponent, Harriet Hagerman, by 22 points in the Wyoming Republican primary.
Liz is encouraging Democrats in Wyoming to vote for her in the primary. That may not be enough to help her hold onto her seat in the House. Registered Republicans make up 71% of registered voters in Wyoming compared to 15% registered as Democrats.
From Fox News:
The Wyoming poll found that the majority of voters disagreed with Cheney’s decision to serve on the Jan. 6 Committee (63%), and thought her opposition to Trump hurt her ability to represent Wyoming (61%). And 54% said Cheney’s service on the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attacks made them less likely to vote for her.
You might want to ride the range in DC with Nancy Pelosi, but at some point, you must come back home to the voters in Wyoming.

“In a decade, maybe less, Republicans will see Liz Cheney as the hero she is.”
Robbins frequently posts things that sound unambiguously Republican. Then he’ll post something like the above. The difference is that his pro republican posts are about decades old realities and not relevant to today’s politics. They could be insightful into an honest person but the current congressional investigation is obviously not seriously seeking truth. Robbins is a Democrat and a sham.
She has been and always has been a carpet bagger and Im glad Wyoming people have finally wised up to her.
She doesnt even own a house in the state.
What we have learned from Hunters phone sex-trafficking and bribery is the least of the problem.
Its clear the President is possibly guilty of somethin so heinous I dare not say it aloud.
Are we talking about how the Wisconsin Supreme Court decided that the entire election in 2020 was illegal? And that I was right all along?
I really need to do my I told you so post about that.
As a Canadian I can say I have voted for Democrats at least 10 times in the 2020 election alone.
Gary is not a victim or dupe. Hes part of that establishment your referring to.
I would have liked to happen. Like they did back in the 19th century. But Mike Pence was not the type to do that. Now as a VP Gingrinch would have done it, just to see what would have happened.
Once Judas, always Judas . . .
So, you seem to be saying that Senate Republicans forced Pelosi to establish an illegitimate “committee” which, in turn, forced or allowed Liz (Token-WY) to show or become what she is today? Interesting.
What else did it say in that failed House bill that might have been objectionable to Senate Republicans? Or should they just have passed it without reading it? (I hear that is all the rage these days.)
Yes. There was far too much doubt as to the veracity of the voting process. What should we put up with when there is blatant ballot box stuffing going on? Both the dems and the establishment wanted very much to take Trump out of office and they stymied every effort to present the evidence.
The establishment is what it is, it changes, consolidates, gathers power, grows. That’s the way it works and is the reason the founders set it up the way they did. It was changed in the late 19th century by a handful of powerful men, and that spurred the natural evolution toward the accumulation power toward the top. It got a solid push with TR and Wilson and was accelerated again with Obama. Trump tried to stop it but was too mild and made the mistake of going along with those who wanted to shut it down because of covid. They moved in from all sides and put us where we are. While the Chinese were working in the same direction I’m sure they could not have imagined that we would do it for them, amazing, actually. Now there are two fundamental related questions; can we free ourselves from the democrats soon enough to free ourselves from the Chinese? The Chinese know that they won’t have the same control over whoever replaces Biden so want him to remain and we’re playing along, again with the Chinese.
You are convinced that you already know this answer. Once again, you are wrong. You are wrong about everything that involves Donald Trump. Give it up. You are so tiresome and predictable. Sad.
How much longer do the Chinese have to make a move? They’re good at the long game but I think their one child policy is starting to hurt them. I’ve heard the demographics are going to shift around 2030 so they might have to move before then. Saw a blurb that India might pass them in the next five to ten years.
Interesting point of reference:
What an original thought.
I really don’t know what to say about the naïveté in using Wikipedia as a source for anything that touches on partisan politics. There are many ways to tell a story to produce the desired result. The bottom line is that Pelosi blocked two Republicans from serving on the Committee because it would not serve the narrative to have them there.
I read it on the Internet, so I know it’s true.
I hope they aren’t using this as an excuse for Pelosi’s hand-picked committee.
No, on the other hand, I hope they are using it as an excuse, so we can have more reason to mock them.
At least, by making excuses for it, they are now sort of acknowledging that a stacked committee was wrong. Maybe that’s progress.
What hero, Batman? No, more like The Joker.
Liz Cheney has decided that her “truth” is so weak that it cannot stand up to cross-examination.
Jeez, before you wrote this I would have thought that you disliked her. So when’s the engagement party?
ess. Just as bad.
It’s a great horse. We have the best horses.
I hope and pray that history records that Trump was this century’s Grover Cleveland — two full, nonconsecutive terms.
My point was that the Chinese have until the end of Biden, that’s less than three years.
He did?
