Two years in and they still don't seem to realize the number one rule of today's republican politics. You tangle with Trump, you lose. You lose even if you win. No one has yet walked away from a faceoff with Trump without suffering. Their attacks bounced off him like BB's off a boxcar. His inflicted lifelong scars.
Sen. Bob Corker, R-TN, is the latest to learn this painful but nonetheless obvious lesson. He decided it would be a good idea to tell a NYT reporters how much he and his buddies in the Senate resented Trump and tried to block his initiatives. Trump fireback calling the veteran senator "Liddle Bob" and mocking him for being suckered by liberal reporters.
Now Bannon has joined the fray, demanding that Corker resign immediately so a conservative female representative could be appointed to the seat. http://www.breitbart.com/big-govern...p-establishment-wants-to-nullify-16-election/
Shortly before the Big Luther debacle, Corker had announced he would not stand for reelection. Trump derided him as gutless and said he knew he would lose. This might be one of those rare occasions when everything everyone said was actually true, if inconvenient. It turns out that yes, words can be hurtful.
Only thing is, Trump has been called worse repeatedly and his supporters laugh it off. Now Corker is vilified and at the same time, made to look like a poor sport if he doesn't resign his seat.
