Cheney's loss in Wyoming completes GOP's near-total capitulation to Trump's 'election lie'
Advisory: This is MSN - and illustrates what 'journalism' has sunk to.
In a watershed moment for the GOP, Rep. Liz Cheney, the most fearsome
eh... you misspelled toothless... again
and resolute Republican opponent of former President Trump’s lies about the 2020 election, was rejected by Wyoming voters in her own party Tuesday night.

Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and the vice chair of the Jan. 6 committee, lost her primary election to Trump-endorsed attorney Harriet Hageman, who paid fealty to Trump by echoing his false claim that the 2020 election was "rigged."

Hageman had been leading Cheney in the polls for months, and appeared to have defeated her opponent by a large margin Tuesday night. The result signals a turn for the Republican Party toward a greater embrace of baseless myths
Baseless myths - which happend to be backed by a rather large pile of actual *evidence*. Not that Cheney would recognise evidence if it goosed her.

Cheney was defiant in defeat. "Now the real work begins," she told supporters after the race was called. "I have said I will do whatever it takes to ensure that Donald Trump is never anywhere near the Oval Office, and I mean it."
So if you happen to see her on the street corner - just pass her by - you don't want a piece of that!
Cheney’s defeat — which she called "the beginning of a battle" in which "our democracy really is under attack" — caps a four-month series of Republican primaries which tested the extent to which Trump still commands loyalty among party voters. Trump started out wobbly,

But Trump’s late entry into the Ohio Senate primary, on behalf of high-profile author J.D. Vance, gave him an early win that blunted Trump’s humiliation when Kemp won in late May.

The spring and summer contests had ups and downs for Trump-backed candidates.
I mean he only had about 100 endorsement victories and what, six losses. Terrible statistics... Just horrible!
But leading up to the Wyoming results, candidates who refuse to acknowledge the 2020 election results ran the table in Arizona’s Republican Party.

Cheney, however, has always been Trump’s biggest nemesis,
who he pretty much ignored - except for an occasional mean posting.
and with her defeat, the purge of the Republican Party is nearly complete. With a few exceptions, Republican lawmakers who firmly reject Trump’s false election claims have been all but wiped out.
And that is a very good thing!
But after the 2020 election, Cheney refused to bow to Trump’s evidence-free
