Donald Trump told Democrat Sen. Charles Schumer in a phone call he likes him more than his GOP brethren House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a source close to the transition team said.

I think he is saying he’d rather deal with people who look you in the face as they stab you.
The RNC is full of spineless back stabbers.

Good Cop (Trump) Bad cop (Ryan and McConnell)
And to a raging narcissist like Chuck, he’s gonna sometime, in some way, help the good cop when the bad cops won’t

Even if secretly or subliminally

At least with Schumer what you see is what you get. Open and direct.

With the GOPe Swamp Monsters, you get deceit, underhanded, back-stabbing, false “support”.

It will be a great day when they ALL get “drained”, but I agree with DJT. The GOPe is MORE detestable.

Schumer wanted him to lose, too.
I get that he’s a fellow New Yorker, but Chucky is a scheming rat, not to be trusted under any circumstances.
