That's right. Trump humiliated the entire GOPe. He never held elective office yet defeated 16 of the best the GOP had to offer ranging from senators, governors, to a brain surgeon and a corporate CEO. They have not forgotten what this rank outsider achieved with primarily his own funds and a campaign that cost far less than many of his rivals. And to top things off, he beat the "most experienced person ever to run for the WH." All the pundits and MSM were wrong.
My point is that Graham, McCain, Cruz, et. al. hold grudges and would rather undercut Trump as a matter of personal pique and revenge than help him pass his agenda to help the country and the American people. This is what Trump has to deal with, i.e., the elite political class that does the bidding of its corporate paymasters and special interests. ,
Trump has an enormous Ego.
Anyone who runs for President has an enormous ego. The difference is that Trump actually has the accomplishments to justify it.
Cruz IMO is working hard to be an effective senator in collaboration with Trump. Note his having dinner at the WH and now leading up the Obamacare team in the Senate—with an apparent actual repeal and free-market replace on tap.
The Graham and McCain crew IMO are both blackmailed and bought off for the Deep State military-industrial complex.
