Senate Republicans miffed over Trump's angry rant targeting Collins, others

(The Hill) Senate Republicans on Thursday lamented President Trump’s call for the ouster of five GOP members who voted with Democrats and dealt him a blow on the Venezuela war powers resolution, indicating the president’s angry rant was a mistake as the party enters an election year.

Trump fumed on social media shortly after the vote, saying the handful of Republican lawmakers who backed the measure that would block further military action — Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Josh Hawley (Mo.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Rand Paul (Ky.) and Todd Young (Ind.) — “should never be elected to office again.”

The remark did not sit well with some GOP lawmakers, who said they believed it was unnecessary.

She will be the Republican nominee. If she is tied to him too closely, she loses.

This is performative hostility.
