20. The idea that she was spending all her time in DC

And didn't really care about her constituents stuck. It stuck hard.

Most of the commentary I've read about this election are seeing it through a national prism and imposing their own impressions and assumptions onto the election.

I kept an eye on what was being said locally in Wyoming, and the overriding sentiment was that Liz Cheney was about Liz Cheney and didn't care about the people of Wyoming outside of the position they could give to her.

That was hammered again and again. With the Jan. 6th committee, she was in D.C. a lot. They would track how often and how long she was actually in her state.

It was incredibly effective.
