League of Women Voters Candidate Forum

Last night was the candidate forum put on my the Wyoming League of Women Voters, Wyoming Public Media, and WyoFile, in which 8 of the 9 remaining candidates for the US House participated. It's a full 2-hour recording so don't say I didn't warn you. But there are some very interesting dynamics going on. First, compared to the forum in Gillette early in the race, people are not invoking Donald Trump at every turn. Some candidates have stopped invoking his name at all. One quite vociferously declared last night that he is *not* MAGA. More than one has come over to my position that fixing Social Security could be as simple as removing the income cap on Social Security taxes, including the one who forswore raising taxes on anybody in his opening statement. Others are still wedded to the agenda but one of them is more reticent about calling on the orange one. I feel like I'm having an effect on this race. Or at the very least, the people of Wyoming are not resonating with Trump worship as expected. But feel free to let me know how you feel and what you think in the comments.
