Hah.  I think the final nail in Cheney's coffin was when her father did a commercial endorsing her.  He had on a cowboy hat and a scowl.  If you looked at his eyes, you could see the demonic hell fire in them.  It was a real scary ad.

it stinks, but you're probably right, why oh why do we only let msnbc/cnn handle debates? - why can't we stop letting the dinosaur media set the narrative?
Liz will be in the debate because the media wants her, not because she matters
I think it happened last year.  The RNC finally dropped out of the bipartisan agreement for the debates.  Not sure what will happen in 2024.

Better would be for each side to have one or two questioners who take turns asking a question that each candidate would address.

I saw that.  It was the perfect campaign ad (for Liz's opponent).

Republicans "disappeared" Cheney, Soviet style.

Once again, big city libs (of both parties) fail to understand flyover country. It's freakin' Wyoming. There's no clandestine political ops going on there. Just Wyoming people.

The only positive thing Cheney ever did was when he "accidently" shot a lawyer in the face.

Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I'm not even gonna give him the benefit of the doubt about that one.  It's pretty obvious (but not proven) that he was out shooting after way too much alcohol.  (IMHO "too much" is 2 drinks, "way too much" is 3+; one is okay) 

I have had 4 strong beers tonight, but I'm not driving nor shooting.

Just read the Fox news article on Stelter's departure...

Wow. Excoriating.

The polarizing Stelter emerged as one of the CNN personalities who conservatives loved to hate because of his constant criticism of non-liberal news organizations and unremitting disapproval of Republicans. NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck, who monitors liberal media, feels Stelter was doing more harm than good.

"Stelter departs CNN having done damage to both the network's reputation and the wider media's reputation like few others could do. Positing himself as a media reporter looking to help explain the journalism profession to the public and show how stories are made and shaped, Stelter actually exposed the national press for the knavish liberal partisans that they've become by inadvertently displaying their arrogance and childish refusal to accept even mild outside criticism," Houck told Fox News Digital.

"His rancorous apologies, dismissals, and omissions of major media stories and failures only deepened his reputation as the liberal media's janitor and a hate object on the right," Houck continued. "With this move and Jeffrey Toobin's departure last week, these last seven days could mark the beginning of a turning point for CNN under Chris Licht."

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Cheney’s shellacking in Tuesday’s Republican congressional primary in the Equality State comes a little less than three months after a similar landslide in the Lone Star State. On May 24, the Republican primary runoff between incumbent Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and challenger George P. Bush, the state’s land commissioner, was shockingly one-sided: Paxton routed Bush by a roughly 68 percent-32 percent margin. Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, and George P. Bush, son of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and nephew of former President George W. Bush, thus both lost their Republican primaries this year by nearly 40 points.

On the other hand, maybe they can build new dynasties as actual Democrats.

They'll have to give her a show called "Trump Watch!!"

"Tonight, on Trump Watch!! Donald Trump luring children into sewers! Donald Trump parking in handicapped spaces! Donald Trump going in the out door! Could Donald Trump be misgendering you, and you don't even know?! All these stories and more, on Trump Watch!!"
