With every tweet like this, Trump just continues to give evidence of just how small of a person he is. He is the kind of wealthy person who makes others despise those with wealth, with his condescending and insulting attitudes towards everyone else.
Ted is the poster child for every Republican who needs to shut up and take a knee before Donald and thank him for saving the party and the nation. Otherwise they can leave like that low-ratings ingrate Amash.
As the Republican Party no longer exists other than as a vehicle to defend Trump no matter what he does, one of the President’s chief critics in Congress has apparently decided it no longer makes sense for him to stick around. Relatively soon after he announced he was leaving the Freedom Caucus he helped found, perhaps the only principled Republican left in Congress let it be known he was also moving on from the Republican Party to become an independent.
“Hopefully, over time, [the] two parties start to fall apart,” says Rep. Justin Amash (R-Michigan) in an interview with Reason recorded last week at Freedom Fest in Las Vegas. “I can go straight to Twitter or Facebook or elsewhere and tell people exactly what I stand for.”
Unfortunately, the Republican Party became a lost cause the moment it became obvious Trump would be a Republican nominee. That party is now relegated to the status of a fringe movement in the form of an Alex Jones / Donald Trump type conspiracy theory movement.
Before then, I thought there might be hope that the party could be saved. The nomination of Trump removed that hope, and was the last nail in the coffin.
