Report: 'Liz Cheney Is Ready to Lose' After Allying Herself with Democrats
[BREITBART] Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) claimed in a New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

interview Sunday that she is still a Wyoming Republican even after allying herself with the Democrats on the partisan January 6 Committee, gun control measures, and globalist foreign policy.

"If the cost of standing up for the Constitution is losing the House seat, then that’s a price I’m willing to pay," she said in the interview.

Cheney has no interest in changing her political affiliation, she also told the publication. "I’m a Republican," she said before warning the Republican party "is continuing to drive itself in a ditch." She added, "I think it’s going to take several cycles if it can be healed."

Not everyone agrees with Cheney’s political position. "She’s so in bed with the Democrats, with Pelosi and with all them people," Casper resident Bruce Hitt explained to the Times.

Cheney’s alliance with the establishment extends to the partisan January 6 Committee, which has sought to investigate the January 6 incident without focusing on the alleged FBI informants at the Capitol. Cheney is one of ten Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
. If she loses the August 16 primary, only two or three pro-impeachment Republicans will remain in office.

"Can I cuss?" one voter responded to CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
when asked last weekend about Cheney’s role on the partisan January 6 committee. "She’s done us dirty," the voter explained. "Look at how she’s done Trump. I’m a Trump fan."

Cheney’s alliance with Democrats and fixation on Trump caused the Wyoming Republican Party in 2021 to excommunicate their representative from the state in which she is no longer recognized as a Republican. Since then, Rep. Kevin McCarthy
...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's...
(R-CA), Sen. Ted Cruz;
...US Senator from Texas. Republican contender for president in 2016, his stiff and abrasive manner earned him the title most hated man in the Senate. After a close win over Beto O'Rourke, who tried to out-Lastino him, he grew a beard and let his biting wit shine through. Cruz's comments have been known to leave life-threatening wounds at better than forty feet...
(R-TX), and former Wyoming Rep. Barbara Cubin have all endorsed Cheney’s competitor, Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman.

Hageman, a local attorney and America First advocate, is leading in the polls by about 30 points and is predicted to win the highly contested GOP open primary. "The big story is Liz Cheney is going to get beat," Brad Coker, managing director of the polling firm Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, said, reflecting on a primary poll released in June. "That’s a foregone conclusion."

While it appears "Cheney is ready to lose" on August 16, her obsession with fighting Trump is likely blinding her perception of the Republican party. When the Times asked Cheney if she would support any Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) potential political ambitions, Cheney said she "would find it very difficult." She continued, "I think that Ron DeSantis has lined himself up almost entirely with Donald Trump, and I think that’s very dangerous."

Liz Cheney Gets Wyoming Dems Switching to GOP for Primary, Data Suggests

[NEWSWEEK] Agrowing number of Democrats in Wyoming may be registering as Republicans in order to back Representative Liz Cheney in the state's upcoming primary, data suggests.

Cheney, the state's sole representative in the House, has been urging Democrats to switch parties to vote for her in the August 16 primary as she faces a tough re-election battle, with polling showing her trailing behind challenger Harriet Hageman, who has been endorsed by Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
Wyoming Democrats—who are massively outnumbered in the state by Republicans— have received mail from Cheney's campaign with instructions on how to change their party affiliation. Her campaign website also links to a form that allows people to switch parties.

#1 The left puts stuff like this out to CNN so voters will stay home while they rally Don't Ms to vote Republican for Cheney.

#5 It could have been just a glitch, but recently I used the word SIERRA-CHARLIE-ROMEO-ALPHA-PAPA-SIERRA in a story about Russia in Africa and my mention of the Chinese. It got whacked, but when I changed the C to a K, my post went through fine.

But that's cause she drove into the ditch first.

#8 Tell me again how Dickless Cheney sired a daughter? Maybe we now have an explanation for him shooting his friend in the face.

"Insert" Mary Cheney jokes here.

#9 Never occurs to her that she is totally out of alignment with the voters and there might be a reason for that. Perhaps she is basing her decisions on bad info.

#10 "If the cost of standing up for the Constitution is losing the House seat, then that’s a price I’m willing to pay," she said in the interview.

“Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
― Patrick Henry


She could make a grander gesture.

#12 She always knew she would lose but she can keep her election cash for a certain amount of time so she'll milk the stupid before she goes. She probably already has a book ready to go, gotta release that while the left still loves her...
