Massie is elected by the citizens of his district. He represents them in Congress, not the House Speaker, not the President.
Trump’s focus should be on increasing the number of Republicans in the House by capturing Democrat seats, not wasting the money on punishing what he perceives as lack of loyalty. If he loses the House in the 2026 midterms, he will spend the last two years of his term fighting a Democrat House that controls the power of the purse, and which unlike the Republican House, will use it to further their agenda.
It’s much worse than that. Trump loses the house which is more likely than not, he’s going to be investigated for everything. He won’t have a moment peace including his cabinet. He thinks he likes drama, he’s seen nothing yet. He should concentrate on keeping the seats he can.
Dems go after our folks - why shouldn’t we go after the RINOs?
Trump’s mandate is to obliterate and drain.
Any Republicans get too close to looking like an enemy to Trump by his voters who had to go through Deep State and Swamp spying on Trump, two hoax impeachments on Trump, stolen election of Trump’s, weaponized lawfare of Trump, Swamp Congressional delays of Trump’s MAGA agenda, Swamp Court impediments and usurpations of Trump, may find their political careers and dynasties obliterated and drained..
Bigger names than Massie have been targeted for political obliteration and draining at Trump’s hands..
Some used to be heroes here, too.
