Trump Warns GOP Moderates to Fall in Line, Gleefully Recalls Those Who Crossed Him and Lost: Some Senators ‘Want to Be Cute’

In an interview with Politico, the president gleefully rattled off a list of now-former senators who turned their back on him and are now out of office — in an apparent effort to intimidate the likes of Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and other Republican senators trying to distance themselves from the president.

Among those who Trump invoked were Bob Corker — a Tennessee Republican who did not seek reelection in 2018.

“I went after him,” Trump said. “No longer a senator.”

He also took on Nevada’s Dean Heller — who lost his seat in 2018 to Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV).

“How did it work out for the great senator of Nevada?” Trump said. “Not too good.”

... Donald Trump is capable of, briefly, making me FEEL SORRY for Republicans.

That ultimately could end up screwing Trump and a bunch of the collaborators.
