A recent republican poll in the state of Wyoming [DATA HERE] shows Representative Liz Cheney trailing her primary Trump-endorsed opponent, Harriet Hageman, by 30 points. Liz Cheney has 26% republican support, and her challenger has 56%. The Wyoming primary is August 26, 2022, this year (general election November 8).
President Trump is going to be holding a rally later today in Casper, Wyoming, to assist in defeating the horrible DeceptiCon Liz Cheney. However, do not get overconfident looking at Cheney’s terrible poll numbers, Wyoming is an open primary state and Democrat voters can vote for Liz Cheney on the republican ticket. There is only one congressional district in Wyoming and there are considerable pockets of Moonbats in/around the fancy rich places like Jackson Hole.
(Politico) – […] The race for Wyoming’s lone congressional district is one where the Club for Growth and Trump, who have quickly turned from allies to foils, are aligned, though the Club has not formally endorsed Hageman. The poll, shared first with POLITICO, was conducted this week by WPA Intelligence, a Republican firm, ahead of Friday’s candidate filing deadline.
Trump has taken intense interest in the race because Cheney has been such a prominent critic of his attempts to subvert the 2020 election results. After her impeachment vote, she became one of just two Republicans, along with Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), to sit on the commission investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riots that Speaker Nancy Pelosi created.
Kinzinger chose to retire rather than remain a stop on Trump’s 2022 midterm revenge campaign. Cheney, however, has said she plans to seek reelection — even if her odds look tough. And Trump will travel to Casper, Wyo. on Saturday to rally for Hageman, a trial lawyer who placed third in the GOP primary for governor in 2018.
The polling reinforces another piece of data the Club for Growth released a year ago, which showed that 52 percent of Wyoming GOP primary voters were planning to vote against Cheney regardless of who challenges her. (read more)
Because Wyoming only has one House congressional district (CD), the congressional seat is a statewide race. This allows activist Democrats to activate their political operation in order to protect their ally, Liz Cheney.
The open primary states are the states the RNC wing of the UniParty has targeted to turn into Democrat States. It is a long-term strategy within the republican wing of the club system to turn control of the state offices to democrats in order to protect the power structures in Washington DC.
UniParty State Governors and Decepticon Senators benefit from the open primary format as it allows Democrats to select the weakest republican candidate for the general election contests. The most recent example of the strategy in action is in Georgia. Thousands of democrats took republican ballots so they could control the November 2022 ticket challenges. In November Democrats will likely take the governors’ office with Stacey Abrams and a very organized black voting bloc.
Ohio and Texas are two key target states for the professional republican club to turn the keys over to democrats. They are making a lot of progress there.
August is a long ways away and the Republican Establishment wants to win this for Liz real bad. It’s an open primary and I would bet they are working with their UniParty Democrat friends to crossover and vote Liz in. McConnell is sending money and support and Romney as well. As we get closer to primary date many more will be coming out of the woodwork to support her including Dick Cheney, of course.
Georgia is an excellent example of Establishment support, crossover voting, and probably Dominion kicking in where necessary.
It ain’t over till it’s over
It’s almost always the GOP that gets the short end of open Primaries. Explain again how this is good for Republicans! Until we get rid of the Uniparty, GOP is going to suck big time!
You have to realize the GOP is a fake opposition party. There are a few Patriots but the majority of the party are Uni-party frauds.
It is not supposed to be good for Republicans.
I am not sure an open primary can help Cheney. Open primaries help unopposed incumbents with no opposition so their party can cross over and vote for the weakest opposition candidate to win the primary and run in the general election. Cheney is the incumbent so are Republicans going to cross over and vote Democrats? Are Democrats going to cross over and vote for Cheney? Seems unlikely.
I do agree open primaries should not be allowed. The DNC and RNC are private organizations and should not only host but PAY for their own primary elections as they are picking their parties candidates, and only registered voters should be allowed to vote in their primaries. Then in the general election each state should run the elections like now. Personally as a libertarian and independent voter I never vote in partisan primaries. Iowa’s caucus system makes a lot of sense to stop political shenanigans
@ Jocko,
To your question, “are Democrats gonna cross over to vote for Cheney? Seems unlikely.”
I give you Rush Limbaugh’s Operation Chaos, wherein R voters were encouraged to vote in Dem primaries to keep the BHO & HRC primary contests confused.
Moreover, we likely just saw the same phenomenon in GA.
They need to make her reputation so toxic so even Democrats won’t vote for her. Find everything she did to wrong the left.
label her a racist, daughter of a racist R Cheney (even though it’s not true) and blanket the airwaves in WY with that theme. Fight fire with fire.
Warmongering is her weak point like her dad.
You get to Dem voters (all but the crazies) by reminding them they are acting like they love all wars and Dick Cheney.
Damn. ANOTHER Open primary. What is it with Republicans?
Are there enough Indian Reservations in WY to get her re-elected?
Easy way to stop the crossover voting. Republicans need to get a candidate on the Dem ticket, force the Dems to get a Dem ballot.
find liz cheneys staff honest employment–facebooks fact checkers
Cheney’s only hope is that the open primary will bring a significant number of Independent and Democratic party voters over to her side. You can bet that is the strategy, like Raffensberger in GA winning in Margorie Taylor Greene’s district. Democrats will be flooded with mailers asking them to cross-over and vote for Cheney!
Stupid, stupid to have open primaries and we have to politically destroy McConnell-you have to CUT OFF THE HEAD IF THE BEAST and the BEAST ain’t Kevin McCarthy.
Harriet Hageman is very savvy woman of Wyoming …. yes, she actually lives and works there, battling the feds at every turn. And she’s fully aware of what the RINOs and Democrats will try to pull off. They will fail. Harriet and MAGA will win. There are way more Harriet’s than there are Liz’s in Wyoming.
Purdue and Hice will win too.
Purdue was a bad candidate – period.
It won’t surprise me if the Dems make an all out effort to stuff it for Cheney but I hope they don’t succeed.
So what MAGA Republicans need to do is pick someone to run as a Democrat to primary whoever is running on the Dem ticket, forcing Dims back to their own primary.
It’s really quite simple if you just apply a little thought. Two can play the same game.
I can’t speak for Wyoming..
But in most states, you have to sell your soul to Satan, kiss the party ring, etc, to get on the Democrat ballot for anything above county level. They thought of this long ago.
The only way to win is total commitment.
The only way Liz Cheney could return to Congress is if she runs for a U.S. House seat in Virginia where she lives. She has lots of $ to do it. Perhaps she’ll save it for the Presidency instead. She does think extremely highly of herself.
Correct. Liz Cheney is a DC “lifer” who has no clue about the real world. She will definitely run for president, most likely in ’24. That is precisely how clueless she is. She will get her head handed to her in the upcoming Wyoming primary and then will get her handed to her in any presidential run.
Then and only then will she have a clue about how clueless and dead wrong she is on issues of importance to Republicans and Conservatives.
But she will still ignore the truth and continue to bounce off the walls of the echo chamber for the rest of her clueless political life and live happily ever after.
LOL! Sad, but true.
How did that go for !Jeb?
I don’t doubt for a second, she could win a Congressional seat in MD, or Nothern VA. I think she wants a Senate seat, which is why she stayed in Wyoming.
On primary day, Chaney will win with 81 million votes.
hahahahahahaha….
RINOs always trading votes over to Democrats in exchange for kickbacks.
Don’t worry Liz, Dominion will help you
Instead of everyone whining and complaining about the GOPe, why not go out and get involved in your NEIGHBORHOOD and COMMUNITY?
Develop a GOTV effort as strong as the DEMS have.
I know, I know, that would require stepping away from your computer and social media and actually do something.
Just FYI, open primaries first began as a GOP tactic in the South when almost everyone in the South was registered DEM. This was done to allow Conservative Dems to vote in the GOP primary in the hopes of getting them to get involved in and switch to the GOP.
History is your friend.
That’s one hell of an across the board nasty accusation directed at of all of us in TCTH.
Do you know for a fact that all/some/most of us are not already involved locally?
If you’re frustrated, take a cold shower. Don’t take it out on the Treepers.
But – have a nice day anyhow………………..
Actually, I know some of you are involved. What is disheartening is how much the Treehouse has changed over the last 2 years…..people always seems to blame forces outside of themselves for the lack of electoral wins.
Case in point: President Trump and his entire family spent the last week before the Georgian run-off primary in Jan, 2021. While they were working their butts off, the Lin Woods and his type trolls on here kept telling people to NOT VOTE because it was rigged and until the system was fixed, that patriots needed to boycott all elections. Perdue lost by about 5k votes.
Do you think those voices are LOUDER at the Treehouse now or did they learn from that lesson?
Blaming everything on the GOPe, as crooked as they are, absolves those who boycotts and inaction from their responsibility when PDJT is out there criss-crossing the country asking us to do the opposite.
Until those whiners change their approach, the MAGA cause is mightily handicapped.
Sadly, am pretty sure those voices will be around until after 2024 elections, employing the circular firing squad technique, well crafted over many decades, now so well buried deep within Republican-minded voter base it’s become a habit, like smoking cigarettes, hard to break, and it continues to work as it serves to secure the illusion that Democrats speak with one voice (because their moderates have been run out of the party) giving Democrat operatives the time to add their ‘concern’ posts just right to keep the circular firing squad rolling.
If the Treepers were involved locally, you see much of their accomplishments written here. I don’t see it. Albertus is correct in his assessment.
Both his reply and yours make valid points.
Perhaps I’m frustrated and I should go take it out on some libs!
Enjoy the rest of your Decoration Day weekend.
Guess what? I can do BOTH. I get involved, AND I spend 15 minutes attacking the GOPe. Funny how the Democrats and Liberals NEVER tell each other to “stop whining”. Or “We need to concentrate on X, and stop doing Y”. Nope, they’re attacking R’s and the Right-wing 24/7 AND getting involved in politics AND pushing socialism AND Pushing leftwing social issues.
Maybe we need to emulate them, since they are winning. And we’re not.
Hard part is the Ds have as their occupation harassing the Rs 24/7. As for me, it would be a second job. I do not live nor do I want to live that type of angry, vindictive lifestyle.
That is ridiculous. There were no “registered DEM”s because there was no party registration, but if everyone was a Democrat (which was true back then), how could it have been a “GOP tactic” when there were no GOP tacticians and no GOP primaries.
The modern southern GOP started after the 60s civil rights acts when LBJ stated that the Dems would lose the south for a generation. That indeed happened, and the growth in the southern GOP was the result not only of whites making the switch, but the arrival of migrants from northern states who brought their GOP affiliation with them.
Here in Florida, for example, as of Nov 2021 we now have more registered Republicans than Dems for the first time ever, thanks not only to escapees from NY/NJ/New England, but also from large numbers of minority voters who are seeing the light.
I’ve lived in Indiana since I was 4 years old and have never voted in another state. We have open primaries here.
How do closed primaries work? Suppose I voted dim in last primary election but wised up and wanted to vote gop in the next one – how does that work in a closed primary?
FJB – MAGA
you re-register.
Closed primary, for example in Nevada, the primary ballot a person votes on will only list the candidates of the party the voter is registered for, for the offices they want to run for in the general election.
If a person is non-partisan their ballot will only have vote selections for non-partisan offices such as school board member or people running to be judges, both requiring no political party affiliation allowed to be known for those candidates.
Yes, that’s correct, and as a former Nevada resident I should have pointed that out above.
One wrinkle of Nevada’s closed primary was that if only two candidates of one party filed for a particular office and no one from the other party did, the two would advance automatically to the general election. In my very red county it was common to see a general election ballot for county commissioner with only two Republicans listed.
I always thought that was idiotic, and that if the Dems couldn’t find a candidate that was their problem (similarly for Republicans in heavily Dem areas), but the legislature did change the law a couple of years ago so that a primary would be held between the two candidates, the winner would advance, and if no Dem filed, would be unopposed in November. That is the way it works elsewhere, so Nevada is now in synch with the rest of the country.
A closed primary is limited to registered members of the party only. When you register to vote, you choose a party affiliation, and then you can vote only in that party’s primary, and your party affiliation is a matter of public record. Of course, in the November general election anyone can vote for any candidate.
In a closed primary state you can always change your party affiliation at any time, but usually at least 30 days in advance in order to vote in the upcoming primary. For example, in Pennsylvania in 2004 many Democrats switched in time to vote for Arlen Specter in the Republican US Senate primary, and then switched back right after. Specter went on to beat Pat Toomey, who later ultimately did win the seat and is now retiring this year.
I guess all that talk from the dems about the Cheney’s being war criminals was just talk.
Shocker!
Paul Ryan a.k.a. Fox Fake News, Campaigning For RINO (Tom Rice) Who Voted To Impeach Trump
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/may/27/paul-ryan-campaign-trump-target-south-carolina/
How does Paul Lyin’ Ryan get to campaign for ANYONE and keep his job at Faux News?
Liz wears comfortable shoes and drives a Subaru.
Are you suggesting that she could give change for a nine dollar bill in threes?
Its obvious to me that Cheney will Run 3rd party. She will NOT give up when defeated in the primary.
In most states (and I believe Wyoming is one of them) you can’t do that. You either have to run in a party primary or bypass the primary and run as an independent with your name printed on the ballot.
However, she can run a write-in campaign, and I think she might be more likely to succeed doing that, and there have been instances of that already. Lisa Murkowski lost her US Senate re-election GOP primary in Alaska in 2010, but went on to win on a write-in vote. Last year, incumbent Buffalo, NY mayor Byron Brown was blindsided by Dem Socialist India Walton in the Dem primary. While New York is one of the states that does permit an independent candidacy by a party primary loser, Brown decided to pursue a “Write Down Byron Brown” write-in campaign, and won re-election that way.
Kinzinger retired? So he got his 20 years in? /sarc
She and the other quisling rinos should be subpoenaed and investigated for conspiracy and voter fraud.
Friends who r 4th generation WY ranchers despise this political parasite, as do many others who r biz owners. Her self-righteous arrogance, J6 lawlessness and family corruption will assure her loss…. thank God
Term limits are the only solution to fixing the Legislative Branch. Even with that, I am not sure it can ever be done.
Term limits. The one thing the founding fathers overlooked that would have solved a lot of problems.
The purpose of open primaries is to prevent conservative candidates winning in otherwise conservative states. It is an evil method of suppressing actual voter intent, in most cases conservative voter intent..
As I said above, I support closed primaries, but your reasoning is ridiculous.
she’ll flip out tomorrow. issue some meaningless threat. hahahahahaha…
independents will thrash lizzy.
The RNC is so stupid! If they have more Republicans in states that increases their power! What’s the matter with them?
The Cheney/GOPe strategy is simple. They are organizing a massive Democrat get out the vote effort to vote in the GOP primary for Cheney. There is also a splitter Republican candidate to siphon Republican votes away from Hegeman. Will this be enough to allow Cheney to win? It will be close. Don’t underestimate the power of McConnell and the Bushes — who back Cheney — to be able to control the outcome in GOP establishment arenas.
As I wrote above, there are only 45,822 Democrats in Wyoming and only 35,344 unaffiliated voters. I’m guessing the most you would get to swing would be maybe 10,000 and that is not enough to alter the outcome.
First of all, Wyoming is NOT an open primary state. The primary is closed, with advance party registration required.
Second, as of the most recent report from the Wyoming Secretary of State (Jan 2022), there are 196.179 Republicans and 45,822 Democrats registered. Even if a significant chunk of the latter switched parties by the deadline for the primary, it wouldn’t affect the outcome anyway–and that’s if there aren’t any Dem primary races of importance to them that they would have to forgo to make the switch.
As for those “considerable pockets of Moonbats in/around the fancy rich places like Jackson Hole”, you are referring to Teton County, in which Jackson Hole is located. Teton County is the ONLY county in Wyoming where there are more Dems than Reps, but only 6,059 to 5,484. Not exactly a huge margin for them to work with or enough to make a difference in a statewide race, is it?
I do agree that Liz Cheney’s term should be and will be terminated in August, and that closed primaries help protect parties from “raiding”, but there is no evidence that anything like that took place in Georgia, or that open primaries are a Dem plot. The persistence of open primaries in southern states is an anachronistic vestige of the long gone days of the “Solid South” in which there was no point in having party registration since everyone was a Democrat anyway and the Dem primary was tantamount to election (if in fact there were any Republicans running at all). And besides, it can work both ways: long ago I once crossed over and voted in a DFL primary in Minnesota for their worst candidate. The open primary states of the Upper Midwest have adopted them because they are sanctimonious liberals who believe that parties are dirty and one should not have to soil one’s hands by publicly affiliating with either one.
And I don’t think Stacy Abrams will win any more than Donald Trump will in 2024 (unfortunately–I’d love to see him back) for the simple reason that revenge candidacies usually fail. And in Stacy’s case, the voters of Georgia have had four more years to measure her incompetence.
Bull. The Donald is running a MAGA campaign, not a revenge campaign.
That would be nice, but I define a revenge candidacy as one by someone who lost and plans to get even by wiining next time. That would include Donald Trump as well, and unfortunately I don’t think he can do it.
I voted for him both times enthusiastically, and am sorry he got screwed the second time, but it’s time to move on. He’s not the only one who can run a MAGA campaign. DeSantis/Hawley ’24.
370,
As hefty as that wench is, and given the fact that her incompetence is far greater than her girth, they better have had a VERY LONG measure!
*Something Stinks in Georgia*
By Emerald Robinson
The GOP primary numbers are funny because the votes were rigged.
https://emeralddb3.substack.com/p/something-stinks-in-georgia
Kinzinger shows up to the bash and sharts and has to be asked to leave.
Cheyney shows up and sharts and gets to stay because she brought the Twister.
the GOP is like a gross out contest.
She’s a leftist douche bag, always has been always will be.
Socialism Rino Cheney need get Rid of her Good,
Liz is going to lose the primary, but win the general election (as a write-in independent candidates) with a coalition of democrat and RINO votes, with the Republican votes split. She will govern more or less as a Democrat but keep the Republican name.
In other words, a combination of Lisa Murkowski and Joe Manchin.
It is the responsibility of voters in Wyoming to dump this piece of s— if THEY choose to do so.
Outsiders can B&M (bitch and moan) about her and what should be done, but the ultimate choice rests with the residents.
I hope they choose wisely.
A deal with Pelosi must have been made for her to be the public face of the January 6 commission. Plus the Bush/Cheney axis will trend democrat since conservatives have rejected them, and they mean to make us pay for that transgression.
“bi-partisan”
Another way must be found… It’s probably time to stop blaming “them”.
I find it odd that we complain about open primaries (Wyoming isn’t, you / they must be registered by party). But then complain about closed primaries because the long time incumbents simply have PACs run splitter candidates against challengers (McConnell, Graham, etc).
What I sit here and see is people electing more Republicans to replace Republicans. Sure, yeah Wylie E Coyote, you’ll acme em this time!
While… Somehow fully believing that the 2020 election was stolen… But the 2022 (with no change) is just fine.
You will never out elect the 7M government employees that run this country… Or it’s un-elected political corporations (DNC, RNC, GOP) Believing you can is just lying to yourself and even worse, giving your consent to be ruled.
Principles… Republicans have NONE!
Liz is a fraud, just like Biden. If reelected, she will receive the same derision as Brandon. Let’s go Laney!
