Trump: Collins And Murkowski ‘Badly Hurt’ Politically By Opposing SCOTUS Vote

President Donald Trump predicted on Monday morning that Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), who is up for reelection this year, and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) will be hurt politically by their pledge to hold off on approving a new Supreme Court justice before Election Day.

You’re holding the polls upside down, Donnie. And Collins is toast either way. Maybe ya should have learned to play ball instead of attacking Murkowski, numbnuts.

The day I never have to see another headline, read an article or hear about tweets regarding what Trump did or said can’t come soon enough.

Can’t wait for my phone not to blow up with alerts on his most recent rude, crude & socially unacceptable behavior.

Ugh,

And to think this wasn’t the stupidest thing he said on this call. According to the reports it was really quite a call, if it’s not still going on.

Trump also complained that the Alaska Republican hadn’t worked enough for him, grousing that “nobody’s ever done so much more for so little.”

Every day is Festivus for this guy.

More argle-bargle from the diseased mind of The Vulgar Talking Yam. Please ignore the rantings of this insane person; we have more important matters facing us than his fantasy life.

If he’s breaking a butterfly upon a wheel, he must be nervous about defections.

Up is down. Black is white. Wrong is right.

It’s just another day in the soon to be ended Assholia Administration.

Fatso before Party before dying Country, like his freedom (to stay out of jail) depends on it, because it does.

This was the worst thing he said --implied that RBG’s grand daughter is a liar.

"I don't know that she said that, or was that written out by Adam Schiff & Schumer & Pelosi? I would be more inclined for the second" -- Trump claims Schiff, Schumer, & Pelosi actually wrote RBG's dying statement, & suggests she'd actually be fine w/him nominating her replacement pic.twitter.com/xLQq1csNTz

I think he just can’t accept or understand them emotionally, so he lashes out. He doesn’t get that for them it’s expedient to distance themselves from him. Obama used to get this from purple-state pols all the time, and he’d be gracious about it. But we’re not talking about Obama. :wink:

Strangely enough, although his tweet is completely reflexive, Unser Drumpfenfuhrer may have a point on Collins. In a blue state where she already trails, Collins’ transparently politically motivated stance is much more likely to anger Drumpf zombie cultists who may decline to vote in the Senate race than it will entice moderate to liberal voters (the majority in Maine) to switch support from Gideon.

Nothing holds him back. It’s amazing he’s never killed anyone.

My Better Half and I were chatting about this very thing and she told me that Chump would say this.

What did I say?

"Naw. Even HE’S not THAT stupid…"

The guy’s toast. I wish Biden would point out that the Repubs know he’s toast, and that’s why they’re in such a rush to nominate some 40-year old to the SCourt. Clearly, if they believed he’s gonna win in a month and a half, they could wait.

He’d more than likely get it through after the election, but I think he’s dead set on getting it done before the election and he’s getting serious pushback. No matter where you stand on eventually confirming his pick, it’s just batshit politically to do it before the election. But he doesn’t care who it harms or how many senators it takes down in the process, he wants to be able to offer up this new appointment as something he “did” during his presidency.

Yeah, somebody needs to distract him with a laced cheeseburger.

And just for the record, it wasn’t me who sent the Ricin.

The three of them look so goddamn sick of this guy. Their faces say: “We have to talk with him next week, too?”

That is what you get if you are a policy think-tank for the Trump Administration.
