Two Wyoming Republicans seeking to replace U.S. Representative Liz Cheney in a GOP primary dropped out of the race after former President Donald Trump endorsed another candidate this week.

On Thursday, Trump endorsed attorney and former Republican National Committee official Harriet Hageman.

Within two hours of the endorsement, Bryan Miller and Darin Smith backed out of the race, the Casper Star-Tribune reported.

In an email obtained by the newspaper, Joey Correnti, chairman of the Carbon County Republican Party, asked the candidates to leave the race following Trump's endorsement.

Miller said he would, and that he would endorse Hageman, according to the report. Smith also left the race and said he would endorse Hageman.

"I said hell would freeze over before I'd be the reason Liz Cheney gets re-elected to represent the great state of Wyoming in the U.S. House," Smith said in a press release.

I agree. Hagman may not be the best, but the point here is to GET RID OF CHENEY.

"I said hell would freeze over before I'd be the reason Liz Cheney gets re-elected to represent the great state of Wyominh . . ."

Kudos to Mr. Smith. If Liz had any shame, she would resign now and allow a special election for November rather misrepresenting the great state of Wyoming for another year.

This is what needed to happen.

The only way she escapes being Cantorized is massive cheating.

Encouraging.

We’ll see Cheney relocate to the DC area, join some meaningless think tank, and make weekly appearances on TV as the Republican voice countering some Democrat invitee.

Wow..sounds like the rare moment that a couple of candidates put politics aside for the good of their state.
I hope so anyhow.

Don’t know anything about her, but that doesn’t impress me.

Thank you for putting your country and state interests before your own you two.

Thank you for joining team America.

Integrity like this is sorely needed and appreciated and will be remembered should you run for an office in the future.

If Liz had any shame

At what point, in the process of becoming a scumbag, does one lose the sense of shame and fear of dishonor?

Forgot to mention:

She’ll forever be introduced as a far right Conservative on
any show she appears on, to destroy support for true
Conservatism.

And she’ll be very happy to help do that.

Never, in this case, as her first glimpse upward was of her dear, deadly demonic daddy.
