"SNIP.......

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) reported her highest fundraising quarter yet, raising $2.05 million in the fourth quarter of last year, the Casper Star-Tribune reports.

Meanwhile, Fox News reports that Cheney’s Republican primary challenger, Harriet Hageman (R), raised just $443,000.

......SNIP"

1. Well now, that's interesting

[Beachnutt]

2. I wonder how many from our side

donated ? And is it something we should be doing ?
Hmmmmm....

[Grins]

21. Only if you give double or triple to her D opponent.

I’d like to know the answer to that question, too. Too busy to research it.

[lisa58]

3. That's a wonderful thing - I love truth...

and I accept it where I hear it. When it comes to J/6 she speaks truth

[madaboutharry]

4. No doubt a lot of democrats donated to her campaign.

Republicans have a lock on Wyoming. At least Liz Cheney will be a congressperson who believes in The Constitution and fighting to save our democracy. Good for her.

[gristy]

5. Donated!

[Tarc]

6. Is there a collective amnesia here over Rep. Cheney's political stances?

Neoconservative, like dad.
Believes in maintaining a nuclear deterrent.
Pro-waterboarding
Dabbled in birtherism.
Anti-abortion.
Reaganomics.
Pro-border wall.

8. The alternative is a maga Trumper.

We won’t get a Democrat in Wyoming.

[WarGamer]

12. shocking how some are willing to embrace her.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. Shocking how some think there's a better alternative in Wyoming

[mountain grammy]

22. True that..

and I hope she prevails, but she won't do it with my money..

[sir pball]

28. War makes strange bedfellows; we were never aligned with the USSR despite our alliance nt

[obamanut2012]

31. No, her policy stances suck fur

But, no one to the left of her will be elected in WY. There are many to the right of her who embrace Trump and sedition who can be elected in WY.

So, since a hard rightist will win in WY, it would be good to have one against sedition be the one elected.

7. I never could have guessed I'd be rooting for a "Cheney" in Wyoming, but...

even more than "the enemy of my enemy is my friend," Liz winning is an important signal.

[monkeyman1]

20. same here !! she 's tired of the bull-shit just like a hell of other people

[Grins]

25. Don't!!!!

Despite the role on the 06 January Committee- DON’T!!!!
She’s still a Cheney.

In the past 60-days:
She voted against the John Lewis Voting Rights Bill.
She voted against the infrastructure bill.

She’s still despicable. Ask her sister.

[hlthe2b]

26. Wyoming is only going to vote for a R and if you think you'd do better with a Trump supporter

You are absolutely beyond wrong. And having had a decades-long hatred for Dick Cheney--who I had to interview professionally many years ago (and endure his misogyny and arrogance), I don't need a lecture on what he and his spawn are all about. But both are going after Trump and that matters. BIG TIME.

32. Her policy stances suck fur

But, no one to the left of her will be elected in WY. There are many to the right of her who embrace Trump and sedition who can be elected in WY.

So, since a hard rightist will win in WY, it would be good to have one against sedition be the one elected.

9. How come WY w/fewer than 1M people gets two senators and CA w/more than 38M only gets two also?

It seems very undemocratic to me. We should abolish the Senate; it's where good ideas go to die, especially ever since Moscow Mitch took over.

[WarGamer]

11. then amend the Constitution... can't be too hard!

[sir pball]

30. ACKCHYUALLY changing the Senate to unequal representation requires unanimous consent

Per Article V - "[N]o state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate."

And you thought getting 3/4 of the States onboard is a challenge...

[Marcuse]

27. The US was never a representative democracy. It's a federal republic.

[WarGamer]

10. then she'll be the best funded loser in the Primary.

Polls show her getting bombed.

[Sugarcoated]

13. Is it an open primary there?

[WarGamer]

14. no... at least not as of 2020

[Sugarcoated]

16. It'd be super cool

if Democrats in Wyoming switched party status to vote in the primary

[WarGamer]

17. Not enough.

The Dem primary winner in 2020 received 14k votes... the 2nd place guy in the GOP Primary got 28k... twice the Dem. Cheney got 78k

If Cheney has lost the support of 75% of the GOP in WY, she's toast.

[mountain grammy]

24. If I thought that would help

I'd move to WY and register as a republican, but not enough dems in WY to make a difference, unfortunately.

Hard to imagine her losing though, her dad is a powerful voice in that state.

[mn9driver]

18. She will be replaced by a MAGAT on the GOP ticket.

“… Harriet Hageman won 59 votes in the straw poll conducted by the Wyoming Republican State Central Committee, according to the Casper Star-Tribune. Cheney won six votes, while state Sen. Anthony Bouchard (R) won two and Denton Knapp won one...”

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/590969-cheney-challenger-wins-wyoming-republican-activists-straw-poll

She might have a chance if she runs as an independent, especially if she can outspend her GOP opponent, but I doubt it.

[housecat]

19. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

[PlanetBev]

23. It may take some uneasy alliances to save Democracy

I don’t agree with any of Liz Cheney’s politics, but pragmatism is called for at this time. Glad she’s on our side against Trump and his cult.

[bullwinkle428]

29. Jamie Harrison and Amy McGrath raised tons of $$$, and still ended up getting

soundly defeated by Leningrad Lindsey and the Evil Turtle.
