1. The J6 Investgation is so damn important that I'd applaud a combined Independent/Democrat vote to

keep her in office. And I have hated just about every policy position she has ever articulated.

2. I couldn't agree more! And we have heard that Wyoming Democrats are crossing over to vote for her

They know that a Republican is going to win that office - and the Republicans challenging her are not only TFG supporters, but those who quote the likes of "the Pillow Guy!" I watched clips of her primary debate and she was clearly the only informed - or sane - candidate there...

5. The thing is, she needs to retain her seat.

And if it takes Democratic votes to do it, so be it. We know that it's going to be a Republican in that seat and those MAGA-"Pillow Guy" quoting types are those who are challenging her. The last thing we need is another ill informed/disruptive MTG/Boebert type in Congress. We may not agree with Liz Cheney on much, but at least she's not insane...

6. Mid-term repubs are running hard to the right to get their base.

That will kill them in November when they will need suburban women and Independents. I think things are looking up for the House and the Senate right now.
Don't forget, as good as she sounds, she still votes to the right of her dad on most issues.

I'm not good at predictions, by the way.

7. We don't agree with her on much, but at least she's anti-TFG, meaning sane

Which definitely cannot be said about her so-called "Republican" challengers...

When someone as vile as a Cheney is considered "relatively sane", the red alert should have gone off long ago.

We are all so totally fucked if these fascists face no consequences and get control of our government.

to articulate what she wants to say about how Vital this J6C is and especially I like the part about we need to elect officials who will obey the OATH to our Constitution!

11. Not to mention, despite our disagreements with her record/beliefs, she's the only sane candidate

Who stands a chance. We know that Wyoming is going to elect a Republican - but we know who Liz Cheney is. Not to mention she's done fine work on the January 6th Committee, we can't stand to lose her anytime soon. And, as a constituent of Elise Stefanik(!), I'd take anti-TFG Liz Cheney over her any day!

Here's her Republican competition:

Better a sane one than a TFG supporter who quotes "the Pillow Guy..."
