"How can you smile? How can you celebrate!"

Those questions flashed into my mind as I saw a clip of Ms Hageman reveling in her Wyoming GOP primary win.

She was, in effect, saying "I lied and I lied and I lied---AND IT WORKED!"

On second thought, she is the perfect Trumplican.

crazy eyes. I mean, you look at her and want to cross the street to avoid the crazy.

I know people with that look and avoiding them is all you can do.

4. Agreed. Big thread at DU where some commenters are more or less celebrating Cheney's defeat.

The last thing we need is another Trump liar in Congress.


I remember not that long ago DU was crying for one Republican to STAND UP for the rule of law and American Democracy in the face of Trump’s criminality. Cheney has done brilliant work on J6.

I expected Trumpists to celebrate, not DU’era.

But she is doing the right thing for country.

I just read Trump’s reaction and it is disturbing:

Harriet Hageman Plays Up 'Rigged' 2020 Election Claim in Victory Speech
https://www.newsweek.com/harriet-hageman-plays-rigged-2020-election-claim-victory-speech-1734293



Republican congressional candidate Harriet Hageman, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, held firm to her stance on the 2020 presidential election in her primary victory speech, promoting Trump's claims of a "rigged" election to the crowd in Cheyenne.


(snip)

“Congratulations to Harriet Hageman on her great and very decisive WIN in Wyoming," Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday. "This is a wonderful result for America, and a complete rebuke of the Unselect Committee of political Hacks and Thugs."

"Liz Cheney should be ashamed of herself, the way she acted, and her spiteful, sanctimonious words and actions towards others," the former president added. "Now she can finally disappear into the depths of political oblivion where, I am sure, she will be much happier than she is right now. Thank you WYOMING!"

over any one of the nut jobs any day. She's not crazy and you know where she actually stands.

She's honest and doesn't want to destroy the US. That's the best we can get in the Republican party.

And we've been told, "No, no, it's a good thing!"

Well, here's another one.

Is it different because she'll win?

Yeah, well, so will a lot of others.

11. FWIW the ads point out those candidate is too extreme, the ads don't promote the candidate.

They point out the extremist positions of the candidates and say the candidate is not right for the state they are running in.
