Former President Donald Trump’s top political advisers have been holding quiet talks over the last several months with the primary challengers looking to take down his most prominent Republican nemesis: Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney

.

Trump is expected to sit down with other candidates before deciding whom to endorse, though advisers say that Gray and Smith have emerged as the two clear frontrunners. To prevent Cheney from winning renomination with just a plurality of the vote, they also say, Trump needs to back the strongest candidate and then elbow out others in the crowded field.

Shortly after the January impeachment vote, the former president’s advisers began reaching out to the state Republican Party chair, Frank Eathorne, and state legislators to take their temperature on Wyoming’s political landscape. They were also in touch with the anti-tax Club for Growth, a pro-Trump group that is opposing Cheney.

Other Trump advisers also weighed in on how to design the 53-question survey. The race has been a topic of conversation on regularly scheduled Monday conference calls where Trump lieutenants discuss different campaigns and the overall political landscape.

The former guy, lost the House, the Senate & the WH, created the big lie resulting in the Capital insurrection. And primary challengers in Wyoming are willing to run against Liz Cheney, Trump's perceived Nemesis? Go for it in Cheney's Wyoming & Trust Trump's endorsed polls? No,🤑

A shrinking party pushing key members out will only help the country in the long run. Less Republicans means less votes for Trump. He may edge out all others for the nomination but the majority of the Nation have had enough of the Trump lies & chaos. The citizens deserve better.

The very interesting case of Liz Cheney demonstrates that thinking voters from both sides of the aisle can support ideas over party. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” -Sanskrit treatise on statecraft, the Arthashastra, which dates to around the 4th century BCE.
