The GOP-controlled Wyoming Senate defeated a bill, backed by Brylcreem enthusiast and boy trying desperately to gain his father’s love Donald Trump Jr., to require a runoff in primary elections where a candidate does not garner more than 50% of the popular vote, an effort by Junior to unseat Wyoming’s sole Congressional House representative, Republican Liz Cheney, CNN reports.

Junior’s hissy fit stems from Cheney voting to impeach Donald Trump Sr. in his second impeachment, an unforgivable act to Trumplicans who value loyalty to Trump over the US Constitution.  Since Cheney’s vote, numerous Wyoming Republicans have announced they would run against her, effectively splitting the vote among multiple opponents.  Junior’s move hoped to coalesce opposition against Cheney around one candidate.

Trump sycophants like Junior and Florida Man and animated self-caricature Matt Gaetz have vowed to unseat Cheney, the House’s third-highest ranking Republican, even holding rallies in Wyoming to drum up support against her. 

“Any Republican in Wyoming who does Liz Cheney’s bidding and opposes SF145 is turning their back on my father and the entire America First movement,” Junior whines on Twitter, a platform from which his father is banned.

Wyoming state Republicans, however, felt that national interference in state politics, particularly from Trumps, will lead to a further division with the already fractured GOP.

“When national Republican politics comes to Wyoming, it further divides and creates those same difficulties for us,” Wyoming Republican state legislator Dan Zwonitzer said. “Now all of a sudden, the bill will be seen as ‘Are you a Trump loyalist or not?’ These weird purity tests will start being thrown around and it’s just more divisiveness that we don’t need in the Republican party or in Wyoming.”

The bill failed in the state senate by a 15-14 vote.
