You mean she snookered you, Mike?? You mean she said she was going to do one thing and then did the opposite?? If only you'd gotten a handshake or a "gentlemen's agreement" like they do in the Senate, then you could have been assured of her word. /obvious sarcasm.
Let's all remember that a primary challenge does one very important thing to moderates: it causes them to look over their shoulder when they vote. Enzi will no doubt be voting straight conservative till the primary, just as Orrin Hatch did voting in lockstep with Mike Lee for two years. So Wyoming will have a solidly conservative senator for while.
Until after the primary. What is that? A year? that isn’t good enough. Throw out the rinos.
Mike, maybe you didn't hear her correctly, given your advanced age and all. :)
69 is the “median age” in the Senate? That’s because it has too many mossbacks who are there for decades. The Senate ought to have a limit of three terms. We’d be rid of McCain if that was the rule.
“... which is really trust that you develop.”
This will be interesting to follow. He thinks the people of his state will be impressed that he has developed “trust” in people who run DC. I wonder if the people of Wyoming trust that trust.
I think a pretty good case can be made he is wrong on the people of Wyoming trusting that trust. I wonder if Cheney will make that case.
Mike Enzi: “I’m not too old at 69”
Liz Cheney: “I’m not too old to 69”
; )
That’s the one thing that worries me about the primary challenge — that Liz will draw a lot of money into her race that could be spent building up republican challengers in the several states we have a great opportunity to take seats from democrats.
Replacing a 95% conservative with a 100% conservative would be a hollow victory if Reid is left running the senate as a result. It’s not like Enzi is John McCain or Lindsay Graham.
If you have to include the qualifier “too”, you are.
Twp terms is enough Mike. Time for a young gun who really understands what it means to be a republican to take over.
Ronald Reagan was 69 when he was elected to his first term as President. If Enzi is too old then what did that make the Gipper?
