Rotten to their core is about as accurate a statement as you can make about these Republicans and the people they represent. The real tragedy is it won't make any difference. What's a little murder fantasy among conservative christians.
I found the 31-29 vote by the Wyoming GOP against Liz Cheney to be very interesting. Party committee members tend to be more partisan than the average GOP/right leaning voter. And given how close the vote was among a group of people who are most likely partisan Republicans, it makes me wonder if that means a potentially less partisan center-right electorate in Wyoming could ensure Liz Cheney surviving a primary challenge. If the Cult 45 opposition to her continues to be split between multiple candidates, it would improve her chances as opposed to a 2 person primary contest. When it comes to primary elections, historically speaking, the more partisan voters tend to show up more to these kinds of elections. I think Cheney’s chances will also depend on the primary turnout of conservatives who are fatigued by the Former Guy and his sycophants. These voters tend to be quieter than MAGA partisans, and it’ll be interesting to find out how many of them exist in Wyoming and will turn out to vote in the primary election.
Wyoming is arguably the most GOP state in the nation, and the Former Guy won 70 percent of the vote in 2020. But in lopsidedly blue or red states, there tends to be more diversity when it comes to partisan intensity, as well as some ideological diversity as well(a big example of this is New York City, where the recent mayoral Democratic primary exposed differences between the more moderate less woke Democrats, and the hyperwoke leftists).
Cheney no doubt has an uphill climb in a party filled with MAGA loyalists. But I think that she is in a stronger position than some of the others of the 10 House GOP members who voter to impeach the Former Guy. Her conservative creds are stronger than some of the others in the 10, and she does a better job presenting a post-Trump viewpoint. If I were to guess, her chances of surviving a primary would be around 50-50.
Pretty sure it's just that the principles have changed.

The democrat fringe is running that party, gives us worse results and you call Republicans rotten. Surely you jest.
