That wasn't her strategy, I didn't think. I thought she was trying to pick up ALL the DemonRAT votes + all the independents + maybe 40% of republicans. AS I recall, Wyoming is one of the states where party affiliation has NO role in determining who you can vote for in the primary.
So, if IN THE PRIMARY she had picked up 100% of DemonRATS + 100% of INDIes + 25% of Repugs, Trump might have 60%x200k=120K. And she would have 80K+50K=130K...and SHE would win the "Republican" primary quite easily. It is a pretty good plan.
Now, at this point, based upon this article, it seems unlikely to me she is going to win her gamble. But she isn't TOTALLY out to lunch with her SLIME plan.
How do we think Graham + McConnell have such power, wehn they are such OBVIOUS horrible hypocrites and RINOs? Got to keep in mind, a lot of Republican voters really like those wars, corporations, government jobs, etc. The question is, how many *voting* Republicans are RINOs or, otherwise, easily bought off?

"...There were 200,579 registered Republicans as of July 1 compared to 43,285 Democrats, for a split of about 71% to 15%.
Unaffiliated (34,925), Libertarian and Constitution Party (3,41 voters together make up the remaining amount.
That’s a huge swing from 1968, which is the earliest election-year archive available on the Wyoming Secretary of State’s website. In that year, registered Republicans made up 44.7% of the rolls, compared to a Democratic presence of 39.5%.
Unaffiliated voters haven’t boomed or busted drastically throughout those decades, starting at 15.9% in 1968 and ending at 12.4% this month. ..."
