Harriet Hageman Thanks Donald Trump After Defeating Liz Cheney In Wyoming

Republican Liz Cheney was crushed in her primary election on Tuesday. Final results are still trickling in, but the Wyoming representative looks on track to lose by 37 percent, a catastrophic defeat for an incumbent. It's hardly surprising, though; leading up to election day, polls forecast Cheney losing by 20 to 30 percent against her Trump-endorsed challenger. Her leadership on the January 6 Committee and outspoken resistance to the former president had made her a pariah within the Republican Party and all but sealed her fate.

With Cheney's primary finished, we now have results for each of the 10 Republican Representatives who voted to impeach Trump for his actions on January 6. Of the 10, four retired, four lost their primary to a Trump-backed challenger, and two managed to win their Republican Primaries. The wholesale ejection of these anti-Trump forces is evidence that the Republican Party still belongs to the former president.

Trump's enduring control was not a foregone conclusion following his loss in 2020. He had the stain of being a loser, had lost the inherent political influence that comes with being president, had been evicted from Twitter, and had faced criticism from Fox News and Republican leaders for his behavior on January 6. In some ways, it felt like Trump's star had peaked.

But now, two years later, it's clear that was wishful thinking. As the primary season wraps up, the evidence of Trump's hold over his party is all but irrefutable. Of the 195 candidates that Trump has endorsed this year whose primaries have already happened, 179 won. His astonishingly high success rate this year is higher than any since 2017. And Trump has not only endorsed incumbents facing apparent victory. Many of Trump's endorsees faced competitive primaries and had to battle it out against more.

Earl, shouldn't the GOP belong to the people who want to be part of it, instead of Trump the dictator.

President Trump is no longer in the White House, Trumper.

How can he dictate anything?

Of course after 2024...

**Celticguy** · 08-18-2022, 08:59 AM

Americans like pols who put the needs of we the people first.

But a word to the wise, if we put them in office they had better deliver the goods.

We cant afford ANY FURTHER FAILINGS.

Drain the swamp and have plenty of shotguns ready to kill the vermin that come running out.
