No surprise... Trump would choose the devil over Cheney

Harriet Hageman, an attorney who lost a bid for governor in 2018, is set to get Trump's endorsement in the primary against Rep. Liz Cheney.
Two years later, she won her primary in the state, a sign she was accepted as a local. Trump, meanwhile, had just been handed one of his biggest defeats in the 2016 primary season when Texas Sen. Ted Cruz won the Cowboy State’s GOP caucus with 70 percent of the vote; Trump finished third, with 7 percent, behind Florida Sen. Marco Rubio.
But in the two general elections to follow, Wyoming was the reddest of Trump states. He carried it by 43 percentage points, a bigger margin than any other state he won.
Cheney's fate?
Some Cheney backers point to Trump’s 2016 caucus defeat in the state as evidence that he might not have as iron a grip in Wyoming. Two years later, his 11th-hour support for billionaire Foster Friess wasn’t enough to put him across the finish line in the primary against now-Gov. Mark Gordon, the race in which Hageman came in third.
But unlike this congressional race, Trump paid relatively little attention to the 2018 gubernatorial race. His support for Friess was largely limited to an Election Day tweet endorsing him.
Cheney supporters like Boyd Wiggam, an attorney who ran for Cheyenne City Council, still hope that the congresswoman can overcome Trump’s endorsement of Hageman, noting that “Wyoming is the kind of place, historically, where people don’t like outsiders telling us what to do.”
And her decision to denounce Trump for his role inciting the Capitol riots — and her refusal to back down from calling out Trump for lying about the election results — could play well in a state with an independent streak, said Wiggam.
Still, Wiggam said, a matchup with Hageman would be tough for Cheney because the challenger is “very intelligent, unquestionably a Wyoming person. If you want to see a rough-and-tumble political battle, you would certainly see a sharp debate between Rep. Cheney and Hageman. They’re not going to pull punches.”

This is a disgrace... Bribem to travel to Ground Zero
After the Afghan debacle I'm surprised the tone-deaf idiot has the audacity to show up. Like your mother was murdered and the guy who killed her shows up at her funeral.
Are we really going to hang on to his every word as he gives a somber, touching, speech while glancing at his watch as they rattle off the dead? Is anybody thinking... Hey, because of you we're right back where we were before 911? His presence is tantamount to Bill Clinton delivering a speech on how to remain faithful to your wife.
Biden's trip on 9/11 will be a moment of bitter shame and humiliation, thanks to his appalling mishandling of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and abject surrender to the very people who helped commit the attacks
This Saturday is the 20th anniversary of 9/11, one of the darkest days in American history. To mark the occasion, President Biden will travel to Ground Zero in New York where the Twin Towers were destroyed
Biden will also visit Virginia where a plane was flown into the Pentagon on 9/11
He will also travel to a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania where Flight United 93 also crashed after an on-air battle between terrorists and hero passengers. Pictured: A mound of dirt and charred trees mark the site of a crater created by the impact of the crashing plane on 9/11
