When Will Republicans Learn That Donald Trump Hates Them?

When Will Republicans Learn That Donald Trump Hates Them?
Across the Trump-fanatic clickservative media, the week’s theme was ‘Why won’t Republicans follow Donald Trump over the cliff?’

So, to my Republican elected friends, there are a lot of reasons that GOP Trumpism won’t work, but the biggest one is this: Donald Trump hates you. You are, at best, props and extras in “The Apprentice: 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” No matter how many times you abase yourself before him, no matter how much you grovel, it will never be enough. The moment you do anything to preserve your own political fortunes, he will turn on you. The moment you deviate from constant service to his colossal ego, you’re going to end up on blast. He has no allies. Only fluffers and foes.

If you don’t see it yet, the clickservative media and the Trump base is fundamentally nihilist. They hate you even more than Trump does.

Trump’s threats against Dean Heller and Jeff Flake are nothing compared to the epic, world-class humiliation he delivered to Attorney General Jeff Sessions—a brutal, near-fatal whipping of the most loyal dog in his kennel—in Wednesday’s wide-ranging, lunatic interview with The New York Times.
