The ghost of Trump hits Cheney and the Establishment.
In a stunning upset, Liz Cheney was handily defeated by political newcomer Harriet Hageman in Wyoming. House seat. Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, was considered the favorite going into the race but was unable to overcome Hageman strong support from none other than President Donald Trump himself.
Though she had the financial backing, including her father, Cheney failed to win over enough voters with her message, which rubbed Wyoming wrong. In addition to Trump’s endorsement, Hegeman was able to win without the backing of most major groups.
Cheney’s loss is sure to be interpreted as a major defeat for the establishment, which threw its weight behind her campaign but came up short. With midterm elections just around the corner, this result could be a sign of things to come as anti-establishment sentiment continues to grow nationwide.
For Chenny this was bigger than just a loss. Let’s call it what it is. Liz Cheney is 100% establishment, and she lost. She lost to a candidate who was endorsed by Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a guy who made it to the top without the establishment’s blessing.
Why is this such a big deal to Liz Cheney? Well, it’s because of all the messed-up things she and her family endured to get to the top. Think about all the deals with the devil she made. Think about all the agreements with the devil her father made.
And in the end, the Cheney name loses to a candidate who was endorsed by a guy who became president as a joke. How would you feel if the group that backed you destroyed countries, destroyed families, broke laws, and in the end, you still lose?
