Trump: I 'destroy' careers of Republicans who say bad things about me
Source: MSN/The Hill
President Trump bragged about his prowess in defeating the Republicans who oppose him, saying at an Ohio rally that he "destroys" the careers of GOP politicians who dare defy him.
"How do you get 100 percent of anything? We always have somebody who says 'I don't like Trump, I don't like our president, he destroyed my career,' " Trump said.
"I only destroy their career because they said bad things about me and you fight back and they go down the tubes and that's OK," he added.
Trump didn't name names, but he's on a winning streak in GOP primaries, as candidates he's backed have repeatedly defeated those he sided against.

Just more evidence that binding thread of the Republican party is racism and xenophobia with Trump as the head neo-Nazi.

(17,931 posts)To those less familiar with politics in the south, that may sound like just an off the cuff comeback. But step back and think about it.....Alabama. For those on the coasts, New England, etc., think of the reddest, most psycho part of your state. Now multiply that by about 10 and outside of the islands of Huntsville, Birmingham and a few counties in the black belt, that is Alabama. It is psychotic beyond your wildest nightmares. And we Democrats WON that Senate seat. I don't care that the Rethugs were running a pedophile. That's meaningless. This is Alabama. Lamb's victory in PA was immense, but it still pales in my mind to Doug Jones pulling off a win in Alabama.

That's why democrats everywhere are united in their opposition to you, and your policies. You'll bankrupt this country if you're not stopped and you will be. Period.

The candidates he backs are still losing...so what's his point?...That he doesn't care if republicans lose so long as he destroys those that hurt his pee pee? We have a 2 year old running this country!
