Rep. Liz Cheney (Republican-Republican from Wyoming) lost her primary after Harriet Hageman delivered an incredible stomping to her and the Wyoming people.
Cheney did not lose, she also lost 38 points more than polls had predicted. Why? Why? Because Wyoming was fed up with her insatiable desire to elect Donald Trump. They were completely disappointed in her performance as their representative. She didn’t care about them and attacked them for voting for Trump. But she also failed to serve them on the important issues.
Cheney now considers whether she will run for president in grand tradition of the failure-oriented, seeking to fall upward. Not even her win in Wyoming was an indicator that Cheney should run. In her concession speech, she even made a comparison to Abraham Lincoln. Talk about delusional.
There’s no doubt that some on the left might support such an effort, thinking that she might draw votes away from the eventual Republican nominee in 2024 if she ran as a third-party candidate. But there’s no way that she becomes the Republican nominee.
A lot of the media is still in the phase of pumping her up while she’s still attacking Trump.
But now that she lost and got such a royal trouncing, it sounds like at least one “Never Trumper” might be jumping off that Cheney train, at least when it comes to her running for president — Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), the guy who flips with the wind.

“I’m not going to encourage anyone to run for president. I’ve done that myself, and that’s something I’m not doing again. I don’t know if she really wants to do that. If she ran, she would not be the nominee. I can’t imagine that would occur,” Romney told the Deseret News on Thursday.
Cheney, he said, might run for other purposes but “I’m not in collaboration with that effort.”
So he’s not going to be on board with an aborted effort to take away from the Republican nominee. That’s intriguing, coming from Romney, but expect more people not to be on board with this either if he’s dumping all over it. This last sentence is what’s most entertaining. He doesn’t want anyone to think he would be on board with the “collaboration” he thinks is going to come down the pike. And he thinks she might run for “other purposes.”
What would those “other purposes” be? Getting a ton of money to the anti-Trump organization she’s going to set up? Lincoln Project 2.0 The first one didn’t go well. This is what you call craven usage of the process. Liz Cheney would have it.
But when you can’t even get Mitt Romney who hates Trump, you might have a problem.
Expect more dumping from the establishment/NeverTrump Republicans, now that Cheney is so clearly rejected
