Dick Cheney Ad Blasting Donald Trump Video Watched Over 6M ... (Newsweek)

Dick Cheney branded Donald Trump a "coward" and "threat to our republic" in a video posted by his daughter Liz Cheney on Twitter.

"Lynne and I are so proud of Liz for standing up for the truth, doing what's right, honoring her oath to the Constitution when so many in our party are too scared to do so. Dick Cheney served as vice president under George W. Bush between 2001 to 2009. I am Dick Cheney, I proudly voted for my daughter and I hope you will too." Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney is vice-chair of the House January 6th Committee, which is investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and what role Trump played in inciting the violence. I know it, he knows it and deep down I think most Republicans know it. A video of former Vice President Dick Cheney claiming no individual has ever been "a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump" has gone viral on social media.

The one-minute ad landed with a bang on social media, but in Wyoming, it is highly unlikely to sway any significant number of voters in Ms. Cheney's favor.

He lost his election and he lost big. The one-minute ad landed with a bang Thursday on social media, where a single copy racked up seven million views. In a Casper Star-Tribune poll last month, she trailed her opponent, Harriet Hageman, by 22 percentage points. A real man wouldn’t lie to his supporters. But in Wyoming, where Mr. Trump won 69.9 percent of the vote in 2020 — more than in any other state — it is highly unlikely to sway any significant number of voters in Ms. Cheney’s favor.

Funding for the Mountain West News Bureau is provided in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. you want your coach picking the quarterback and the same is true in a political party,” Durst said. Other conservative lawmakers in the West feel the same way. “For a primary race, there seems to be a relatively low number of undecideds, which suggests that people have made up their mind,” King said. That's because in Wyoming, voters can switch allegiances up to the day of the primary. Donors from California have contributed about $1.2 million to Cheney's reelection campaign, as the Los Angeles Times reported last week. Despite the arithmetic suggesting it doesn’t make a difference, some Wyoming Republicans still aren’t a fan of crossover voting. In her race against Hageman, Cheney is down more than 20 points, according to a poll conducted about a month ago. The same is true in several rural Western states and counties. Nonetheless, as the primary nears, left-leaning and moderate voters in Wyoming are responding to Cheney’s messaging. She voted with Trump 93 percent of the time. “Wyoming is fed up with Cheney and it’s too late for any election shenanigans to save her.”

That old professor of hers at Colorado College thinks maybe she developed that clearer vision right here in Colorado, as did her mom and sister Mary, who also went to CC. A reporter for CNN recently quizzed rodeo-goers at Cheyenne Frontier Days about that, and nearly all of them said they weren’t supporting Cheney. “She’s done us dirty,” voter Sharon Tuggle told the reporter. Liz Cheney has done both.” History will remember Cheney as an honest-to-god, tough-as-nails profile in courage, I’m sure of it. John Kennedy wrote a book about politicians like Cheney who followed their consciences and chose the good of the country over their political livelihoods. Cheney has suffered all of the above. I know it, he knows it, and deep down most Republicans know it.” Even “Yellowstone” star Kevin Costner endorsed Cheney last week. The Republican prof taught Liz Cheney political science when she was a student at Colorado College. “A nation which has forgotten the quality of courage which in the past has been brought to public life is not as likely to insist upon or reward that quality in its chosen leaders.” “That is why I label my former student courageous.” He lost his election, and he lost big.
