It looks like we will have a showdown between Trump and the Bush/McCain/Romney wing of the GOP. Seems GWB is backing Liz Cheney for re-election, Trump backs the primary challengers. Who will win? Place your bets!!

George W. Bush to hold fundraiser for Liz Cheney, a top Trump target

In this article:
Former President George W. Bush will hold a fundraiser next month for the embattled Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., whose criticisms of former President Donald Trump have put her political career in jeopardy.
The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Bush’s first campaign event of the 2022 midterms will be in support of Cheney. Her father, Dick Cheney, served two terms as Bush’s vice president. The fundraiser will take place in Dallas on Oct. 18.
His support of Cheney puts Bush at odds with Trump and his allies, who have targeted Cheney since she voted for his impeachment after the violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Cheney has also been outspoken in pushing back against Trump’s claims that the 2020 election was stolen, repeatedly rebutting the former president’s baseless conspiracy theories. A Yahoo News/YouGov poll in August found that two-thirds of Republicans still believe the election was rigged.

I don't live in WY, but I'd guess she's going to have a tough fight.

Republican House Representative Liz Cheney’s days as GOP Conference Chair appear to be numbered as pressure mounts to have her removed and replaced.
The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney now faces a 95.04% chance of being ousted from her leadership position according to sports betting oddsmakers.
“At this point the removal seems all but certain,” stated Josh Barton of SportsBetting.ag.

New Wyoming Poll Shows More Trouble For Liz Cheney
JULY 30, 2021 By Tristan Justice
Results of new poll released Friday continue to show support for Republican Rep. Liz Cheney deep underwater among her Wyoming constituents as she prepares for a competitive primary.
According to a survey conducted by McLaughlin & Associates shown exclusively to the Washington Examiner, 77 percent of Republican primary voters said they would back a candidate besides Cheney in the upcoming contest. Only 23 percent said Cheney could count on their support.
More than half, 53 percent, described Cheney as “liberal,” whereas only 26 percent labeled their at-large representative who has joined Democrats in defining moments as “conservative.”
Former President Donald Trump released a statement hours before the poll was published calling on the Wyoming Republican Party to unite behind a single primary challenger before the five major candidates who have announced split the vote and give Cheney a fourth term.
“The easiest way to defeat Deplorable Liz Cheney is by having only ONE Conservative candidate run and WIN!” Trump wrote. “Wyoming Patriots will no longer stand for Nancy Pelosi and her new lapdog RINO Liz Cheney!”
Liz's shelf life has expired.

Decades of voting for the lesser of two evils has gotten us just that.....

Just a small sample, but my recent time in Wyoming and talking with locals made me think she is going to have a hard time staying in her seat. The people I talked to were not happy with her. Every time she came up it was brought up by them while talking about the state of the country and current events, I never mentioned her.

There are counties in Wyoming that use Dominion.
The election algorithms are already written, Cheney for the win, even though she didn’t.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
