The era of Donald Trump has brought a great many changes to the political world since 2016, and the year 2023 will be no different – the dynasties of Bush, Cheney, McCain, and Clinton will hold no quarter in either statewide or national office.With the defeat of Liz Cheney in the Wyoming Republican congressional primary on Tuesday, the franchise dynasties that have dominated the U.S. political landscape going all the way back to the 1970s came to a crashing halt.Whether or not the Republican Party takes control of Congress in November’s mid-term election, come January 23, there will be no...

Given Liz Cheney's overwhelming defeat in yesterday's Wyoming Republican congressional primary, it would be a very uphill slog for her to win a national GOP presidential primary, should that be her goal for 2024. In a mark of just how steep that climb would be, on today's New Day, CNN cast the two legs of Cheney's base of support as . . . Democrats, and the Beltway media! First up was CNN polling maven Harry Enten. Pointing to results showing Cheney with a negative -17 favorability among independents, and a whopping -53 points among Republicans, Enten said: "She does have...

CNN anchor Chris Wallace said Tuesday on “Don Lemon Tonight” that Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) “declared war on Donald Trump” during her concession speech. Wallace said, “What struck me was the reference to Lincoln, and the reference to Grant, and the comparison to the Civil War. And I think she was very explicitly saying that just as our union was in jeopardy, life or death jeopardy, back in the 1860s, that the union is in jeopardy today. That is a pretty stark.”

Representative Liz Cheney said early Wednesday that she was “thinking” about running for president in 2024, a prospect that would test the national viability of a conservative, anti-Trump platform that failed resoundingly in Wyoming. Ms. Cheney — who lost her House primary by more than 35 percentage points on Tuesday to a challenger, Harriet Hageman, endorsed by former President Donald J. Trump — also announced the formation of a political action committee, the Great Task, that would educate Americans about threats to democracy and oppose any effort by Mr. Trump to return to the White House. The committee filed a...

RINO Neocon Never-Trumper Liz Cheney, formerly a respected Republican until she allowed her Stage 4 case of Trump Derangement Syndrome to push her into bed with the Democrat-Communist Party and the January 6 “Insurrection” hoax, lost her Republican primary Tuesday night in Wyoming. And it wasn’t even close. Despite the highly sleazy scheme of attempting to convince Democrats to switch parties temporarily to vote in a Republican primary because of “Orange Man Bad” or something, Liz Cheney, who the Republican establishment had bankrolled, including fellow warmongers George W. Bush and Karl Rove, got crushed by over 35 points with 96%...

The next (Republican) Congress must hold hearings on Pelosi’s select committee show trial. Wyoming's Republicans have voted eloquently in their primary for the state's single seat in the House of Representatives, bestowing on Harriet Hageman a landslide defeat of incumbent Liz Cheney by a remarkable margin – greater than two-to-one. Such a defeat would normally send the vanquished into the political desert she so richly deserves, but we can expect Rep. Cheney to strive mightily to remain a public figure into the 2024 political cycle, and certainly for the remainder of this year, in the faux role of "vice chair"...

The Lincoln project has called US Rep. Liz Cheney's primary loss 'the end of the Republican Party' as Democrats allies lash out against Trump-back winner Harriet Hageman. Cheney informed her supporters on Tuesday night that she had called Hageman and conceded the race, much to the dismay of the anti-Trump Super PAC The Lincoln Project. 'Tonight, the nation marks the end of the Republican Party,' the group said in a statement. 'What remains shares the name and branding of the traditional GOP, but is in fact an authoritarian nationalist cult dedicated only to Donald Trump.' Former National Finance Chair Jon...

"They said she was delusional for running again after betraying most of the Republican voters of her ‘home state’ of Wyoming, and she was even sanctioned by the state’s Republican Party to stop calling herself a Republican. But just as with joining the illegal ‘J6’ committee (the first committee in history to have no members appointed by Minority Party leadership) the alt-far-left MSM rooted her on anyway. ..."

Wyoming is a very conservative state. Forty-six percent of its adults self-identify as conservative, as opposed to moderate or liberal; only Mississippi claims a higher percentage. But in sending incumbent Liz Cheney to her premature retirement in Tuesday’s primary, Wyoming struck a blow against conservatism. Cheney’s defeat is just the latest demonstration that Trumpism now eclipses conservatism as the reigning faith of the Republican party. Compare the 46 percent of Wyoming’s adults who self-identify as conservative to the 57 percent of its adults who are Republican or lean Republican, according to Pew. That makes Wyoming more Republican than conservative; indeed,...

Democrats appeared to mourn the projected loss of Never Trump Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) to the Donald Trump-backed candidate Harriet Hageman. The Cook Political Report and Decision Desk HQ found that Hageman will unseat Cheney in the battle for Wyoming’s at-large congressional district. Many Democrats did not take the news well. Jon Cooper, a former finance chair for the Draft Biden 2016 campaign, wrote, “The GOP is going to pay at the polls for what they’ve done to Liz Cheney:”

The fateful day of August 16th has finally arrived. This is the day that Wyoming lets loose its primary voters to decide the fate of disgraced turncoat Liz Cheney. She hates this country and the freedom-loving patriots in it so much she makes King George III look sympathetic to liberty. Multiple polls have been showing a consistently widening gap in favor of the Trump-endorsed Hageman leading up to today. Writing over at Crowd Wisdom, a composite of several of these indicators reveal an astounding and glorious defeat is in the making: Wyoming Primary Polls 2022: Liz Cheney Polls 28 points...

Twitter actually shut it down and declared it “Sensitive Content.” Watch it on Rumble: Let’s Get the Party Started!

WILSON, Wyo. — For much of the morning at the place where Liz Cheney was expected to cast a vote for herself in Tuesday’s Republican primary, there were more reporters than voters waiting to cast ballots. Yet at times, the line to enter the barn-red community center in Wilson — a wealthy, mostly white enclave of fewer than 2,000 people at the base of the Teton Pass — extended nearly to the street. Longtime residents said they had never seen anything like it. The voters who rode up to the city’s lone polling site in elite performance bicycles, Teslas and...

Liz Cheney actually spent a few days in Wyoming this week. She took her daddy with her to vote.

A former Democratic senator who made headlines in a 2017 sexual harassment scandal that forced his resignation has sparked ridicule after endorsing Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming in her upcoming Republican primary. Wyoming Republicans go to the polls Tuesday to decide between Cheney, who has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump, and challenger Harriet Hageman, who has Trump’s support. One poll released last week gave Hageman a 29-point lead over Cheney. Former U.S. Sen. Al Franken, who stepped down from the Senate in early 2018, tweeted his endorsement on Saturday. “I’ve decided to endorse @RepLizCheney for...

During a Tuesday appearance on “CNN Newsroom,” former Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) heaped praise on Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) for her efforts on the January 6 committee. Kasich said Cheney, who has broken from many of her GOP colleagues in investigating former President Donald Trump’s role in the riot at the U.S. Capitol, had “done a terrific job.” “At some point, the bulk of Republicans are going to break out of this coma that they have been in, and I don’t know what form that’s going to take,” Kasich advised. “I mean, she’ll have a speaking career; she’ll be able...

Pat Lauber, who had been registered Democrat for 40 years, explains why she switched parties to become a Republican so she could vote for Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) in the Wyoming Republican primary.
