A few hours after he announced that he was no longer running for re-election, Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina said he was voting against Trump’s budget bill because of the cuts to Medicaid for hundreds of thousands of his constituents. Trump then did his usual, hurling childish insults and calling Tillis names like the second grader he resembles.
This is why people like Susan Collins and many other Republican Senators are scared. What if Trump and the MAGA crowd and Fox News and Truth Social and all the rest of the MAGA universe says mean things. What if they are REALLY NASTY, IN ALL CAPS.
Will the Senators be thrown into a Siberian gulag if they cross Trump? Will their husbands and wives be dragged off to some underground jail? Will they be sent to El Salvador? No, they will be insulted and might lose their election, but they would at least retain some shred of integrity. I never thought Republican Senators and Representatives would be such lickspittle cowards. I am ashamed for them.
