The tug-of-war over Rep. Liz Cheney underscores the serious woman problem in the party, with Republicans on both ends of the Capitol eager to bolster their relatively thin ranks of female lawmakers

Almost immediately after Sen. Mike Enzi announced his retirement over the weekend, some of Liz Cheney’s House colleagues began pleading with her to stick around — while acknowledging that the Wyoming Senate seat is probably hers if she wants it.

The tug of war over the second-term congresswoman underscores the serious woman problem in the party, with Republicans on both ends of the Capitol eager to bolster their relatively thin ranks of female lawmakers. House and Senate GOP leaders also want to promote more female candidates in 2020 after a midterm elections in which suburban women fled the party in droves and when Donald Trump will be on the top of the party's tickets.

Meanwhile, Senate Republicans have made electing more GOP women a high priority. Cheney, a prolific fundraiser and daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, would be a prize recruit for Majority Leader Mitch McConnell .

UGH! I just want to throw up when I see her.

This is so dumb.

If they're going to fight over her we have to cut her in half, that's what the Bible says.

Spawn of Satan

If they’re busy fighting for her and this is the only one they’re fighting for, then things are a lot worst for them than they thought.

Gross

Imagine being so desperate to show how diverse your caucus is that the prize seems to be a hateful, nepotistic white woman like Liz Cheney.

Women who can stomach the stench that is the GOP are strong women. Not decent but strong

Is it that difficult find crass, bigoted women in the GOP?

It’s hard to trounce women’s rights if you get too many women in your party.

daddy cray fruittree

The GOP must still think it doesn’t have enough assholes in its Congressional caucus.

Look at the embarrassments in the other party, and decide what's worse: having few women, or having clownshows?

Uh duh...make America great AGAIN means the old ways when white rich straight men ruled over anything. This is their true model.

if this vile woman is the best they got then they are so screwed.

The last one wasn't enough?
