Report: Trump Meeting With Senate Republicans Turns Combative

[DonViejo]

Source: Talking Points Memo

The Washington Post reported Thursday that the meeting Senate Republicans had with Donald Trump turned combative when the real estate mogul started calling out specific legislators who were publicly skeptical about supporting him.

The publication, which spoke to several people on the condition of anonymity, reported that Trump had a particularly tense exchange with Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), who has said he couldn't support Trump after he proposed a ban on Muslims from entering the country.

Trump reportedly said at the meeting that he has not yet attacked Flake hard but threatened to begin to do so. Flake told Trump that he needed to stop attacking Mexicans and the businessman said to Flake that he would lose his reelection bid. Flake then reportedly informed Trump that he was not on the ballot this year. A spokesman for Flake didn't return the Post's request for comment.

Trump also called out Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) who withdrew his endorsement after Trump criticized the ethnicity of a federal judge. Trump said he would win Illinois, typically a Democratic state, in a landslide. Kirk wasn't present at the meeting.

a little old blond girl kick his ugly ass.

Help me see my dream come true by doing everything you can to help her win.

[bjobotts]

7. I will unenthusiastically vote for her. But when I saw she was paid $245,000 a speech

over 40 times by wallstreeters and banksters. Nearly a quarter million dollars a speech? I am suspicious but still know she is 100Xs better than Trump. Usually multi millionaires don't talk to me.

9. I've been sending $ to Bernie

Just watched the movie I got Who Do we Invade Next. It was great. Now I'm going to send a few bucks her way. I'll knock on doors and make calls for her, even though I supported Bernie. Can't have that pumpkin head as president.

10. 5 years ago, Jeff Flake, then a Congressman, spent 7 days on a deserted island, by himself,

..in the Marshall chain, with a catalog's worth of REI gear.
He survived to write about it in the "Style" section of The Washington Post.

Later, as a US Senator, he returned to the island with his Senate colleague, Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-New Mexico) and a Discovery Channel film crew
The senators brought no water or food, and Discovery Channel gave them just three items,
(the only item that's been revealed is a machete, which Flake used to hack open coconuts)

When Heinrich showed Flake how to eat a giant clam, Flake teased that Republicans are better at killing and Democrats at eating.
Heinrich replied that Flake's been spending too much time with Paul Ryan.
Flake also joked that it was the first time he ever slept with a Democrat.

(Can you imagine Donald Trump spending 7 days on a desert island without food or water?)

[Bigmack]

16. Can I imagine it...? sure ...

But I can imagine with MUCH more pleasure Trump being on a desert island without food and water for a couple of years.
