he's a fucking punk........
Mr. Trump at one point jabbed at Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska, who has openly called for a third-party candidate to thwart Mr. Trumps chances, asking Mr. Sasse rhetorically if he preferred to have Mrs. Clinton as president.
Mr. Sasse did not respond in kind but Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona did.
Mr. Flake, of Arizona, told him that he wanted to support Mr. Trump, but could not because of Mr. Trumps statements about Mexican-Americans and attacks on a federal judge over his Hispanic descent.
Mr. Trump responded by saying that he had been going easy on Mr. Flake so far, but that he would ensure that Mr. Flake lost his re-election bid this year if the senator did not change his tune.
Dumbstruck, Mr. Flake informed Mr. Trump that he was not up for re-election this year.

Trump probably believes that all Senators are up for reelection every two years.

is a total buffoon. I think the Stockholm Syndrome is at work with some republicans, and others think he's a total jerk and dangerous.

What he does know is that he can't afford to tolerate Senators who talk back.
