Trump attacks widely respected neocon senator

It seems like Trump does not know how to retreat, always on the offensive.
Latest victim is SC GOP Senator who is widely respected among neocons including many left wingers.





Perhaps it is attacks like these that have made even DGP bit too scared to criticize Trump, something he used to do without fear when Hillary had wide lead over Trump in MSM polls. In all fairness, Trump had launched very harsh attacks on him when he was campaigning for Hillary.



Barack Obama declining to engage Trump reflects ex-president balancing act

For Obama, who remains the object of frequent criticism from Trump and his allies in the right-wing media, speaking out overtly could also further galvanize the political base to which Trump is appealing.

As Trump offered a series of equivocal statements on the Charlottesville violence this week, it became clear that condemnation would be swift even from members of his own party, who have rebuked the President with varying degrees of severity.
Those critiquing Trump — at least implicitly — included the two most recent Republican presidents, who said the country must always clearly denounce the types of ideologies that Trump initially avoided criticizing.

Shirley, you jest.

That's what I was thinking. If the Warmonger in the Closet is truly respected by more than 57 people, I'll eat my hat.
