Will extremism fracture the GOP? Cheney vs. Trump in Wyoming
b'Trump-backed candidates have lost recently in Georgia, Nebraska, North Carolina and Idaho. The biggest caveat about how the lessons of other states might apply in Wyoming is that in states where the Trump candidate lost, the non-Trump candidate was not anti-Trump. Rep. Liz Cheney\\u2019s political identity \\u2014 at least, her identity on the national stage \\u2014 is now defined by her criticism of the former president. The anti-Cheney effort in Wyoming has been led by Frank Eathorne, the Wyoming GOP chair and Trump\\u2019s most important ally in the state. Last weekend, Victoria Eavis of the Casper Star-Tribune and Rone Tempest of WyoFile, published a bombshell 6,500-word profile of Eathorne. On this week\\u2019s episode of Playbook Deep Dive, co-author Ryan Lizza is in the Casper Star-Tribune\\u2019s newsroom, where Eavis explains how the story came together. Plus, former chairman of the Natrona County Republican party Dr. Joseph McGinley explains what it\\u2019s like to be pushed out of his own party.'
