Latest Poll: Liz Cheney losing bigly against Trump-backed challenger by 22 points

Cheney goes after Trump at the Jan 6 TV show

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is trailing her GOP challenger Harriet Hageman by 22% in a poll released Friday. Hopefully Ms. Cheney will ride off into the sunset and disappear from the public view after she gets clobbered next month in the Wyoming primaries.

A full 52% of likely primary voters in the state would support Hageman, and just 30% would support Cheney, for some reason, according to the survey by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy for the Star Tribune in Casper, Wyoming.

The poll was conducted between July 7th to 11th and consisted of 1,100 likely voters. Other Republican primary candidates can hang up their spurs as they received only single-digit support for the only House seat up for grabs. Eleven percent of voters were undecided because there is always anywhere from 10 to 30 percent of the population that can't decide what to wear, where to go, and what to do, never mind who to vote for.

Former President Donald J. Trump chose Hageman out of several Republicans who are vying for Cheney's seat [which, I hear, is rather large]. Cheney was one of the two RINOs who voted to impeach Trump and likely committed political suicide, rightfully so.

The poll also found that most voters disagreed with Cheney's decision to serve on the Jan. 6 Committee (63%) and believe her opposition to Trump destroyed her ability to represent Wyoming (61%). Fully 54% of Wyoming likely GOP voters also said her service on the select committee investigating attacks made them less likely to vote for her.

Cheney tried to convince Democrats in Wyoming to vote for her in the Republican primary to gain support, a move that Hageman's campaign correctly characterized as a "desperate" move to "hold on to power."

The Wyoming primary election is August 16th.

Although Cheney claims to be a constitutional conservative who has fought for "everyday Wyomingites" against crippling regulation and government overreach, she seems to ignore the existence of the Constitution and rule of law, and lately appears to be more of a Democrat than a conservative.

Lix Cheney censured for her impeachment vote

The Republican Party Central Committee in Carbon County, Wyoming, has unanimously voted to censure Rep. Liz Cheney (D-WY) after she voted to impeach President Trump. 

[H/T The Daily Wire.]

“The censure resolution passed in a unanimous vote by the 45-member central committee,” The Washington Times reported. “It included a demand that Ms. Cheney appear before the committee to explain her actions.”

Carbon County Chairman Joey Correnti IV told the Times: “Our representative did not represent our voice.”  Thus she failed the Party by going rogue.

The resolution says Cheney defied the will of most Wyoming Republican voters when she voted in favor of the Democrats’ rushed impeachment article, denying President Trump due process.

Due process of the law is the idea that a person is presumed innocent until proved guilty, a process revered by Republicans and shunned by many on the left.

“The wind in Wyoming has been horrendous today—with gusts up to 65 miles per hour. That is nothing compared to the whirlwind created by Representative Cheney’s announcement that she would be voting to impeach President Trump, and her subsequent follow-through of doing just that,” the party said in a statement, to The Daily Wire. 

“There has not been a time during our tenure when we have seen this type of an outcry from our fellow Republicans, with the anger and frustration being palpable in the comments we have received. Our telephone has not stopped ringing, our email is filling up, and our website has seen more traffic than at any previous time. The consensus is clear that those who are reaching out to the Party vehemently disagree with Representative Cheney’s decision and actions.”

“This insurrection caused injury, death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic,” Cheney herself said in a statement last Tuesday, blaming the President for the behavior of others.

“Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough,” she continued. “The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack.”

Except the siege of the Capitol was planned prior to Trump's speech about a "peaceful, patriotic" protest [Trump's words].

“Everything that followed was his doing [unlike the time when a gunman was inspired by Sen. Bernie Sanders (Communist-VT) to shoot Republicans at a ballgame and nearly killed Sen. Steve Scalise]. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. [This part is true, but you cannot blame him for what others did unless he specifically directed them to do it.] There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.”

“I will vote to impeach the President,” she announced, before all the facts were available.

Last Monday, House Democrats released their single article of impeachment against President Trump for allegedly inciting what they claimed was an “insurrection” at the Capitol.

Again, no Republican, no conservative, and no independent voter who voted for Trump believes the attack on the Capitol was anything but horrible. But Democrats always try to lump all Trump supporters in the same category, like Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" categorization of all his supporters. 

And Liz Cheney gave the left exactly what they want.

Trump's words at the speech were: 

“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. Today, we will see whether Republicans stand strong for the integrity of our elections.”

These words sound very typical of how political people speak and they clearly do not call for violence or insurrection.

I believe Liz Cheney voted her conscience but I also believe she needs to be voted out of office in the next primary election.
