Donald Trump is securing his grip on the Republican Party less than three months before the midterms, with GOP primary voters surging to the polls in Wyoming to oust his most vocal GOP critic, scores of nominees for state and federal offices amplifying his false claims and bellicose rhetoric, and many prominent party figures echoing his evidence-free attacks about the FBI search of his home.
Rep.

The race attracted more voters than any Republican primary in Wyoming’s 132-year history — serving as a stark example of how Trump has kept his hold on the party after losing the presidency in 2020.
Hageman’s victory marked the fourth and final primary defeat of a House Republican who voted to impeach Trump last year on charges that he incited a riot.

These three crapweasels are scared for sure.
Trump’s ‘false claims’. Does Wapo clutch its pearls over Biden’s false claims at all?
Who is it worrying? Romney? Liz Cheney?
.
The Party Leaders all went out to Inauguration parties with Biden and skipped Trump’s send off, so it’s been clear, they don’t want Trump, but he’s being foisted upon them due to his popularity.

Agreed. The assistant Democrats should be worried.
That's just the first paragraph
Has to be an editorial, it sure isn't news.
*You can smell the fear between the lines.”
Yep.
Kinda like napalm in the morning.

Yea, the racists are afraid that we are vastly expanding our appeal to other races.
And she lost by nearly 40%, a record for a sitting congressperson in recent years. BUH BYE Cheney.

Compost:
“false claims and bellicose rhetoric”
This is what they call “objective fact-based journalism”!
Why won't you serfs submit/conform!
