There’s a mistaken assumption regarding job security, it seems, for establishment Republicans living in super-safe districts in, say, Wyoming. Such a Republican doesn’t fear losing her seat; after all, the opposition can’t beat her. Democrats haven’t won the seat in decades. She is well-financed, with a national fundraising base. Democrats won’t waste their time and money, so it’s not surprising such a Republican would assume she can do whatever she wants with no recriminations from her constituents.
But the rush she must feel from that power trip can easily mislead. And it seems to have done exactly that in the case of U.S. Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who mistakenly felt empowered to push for legislation and positions that have nothing to do with the wishes of the Republicans in her district or, in fact, her country.
