Ernst is up for reelection in two years. She believes she needs to position herself in a way that portrays her as not being a lap dog to Trump. I think it is a stupid strategy however two years is a long time.

Meanwhile, next door, we have Sasse the Ass. Another lying sack of crap who passed himself off as a conservative who would follow the will of the people who elected him.

The dirty little secret of the border that the MSM hides is that there is a massive amount of cross traffic daily. In AZ, TX, CA, NM every day thousands of trucks and tens of thousands of vehicles and people. Kids live in Mexico and go to school in the US and cross into the US every morning.

This gives Trump massive leverage over the Chamber of Commerce phonies like those who run AZ.

Perhaps Senator Ernst should consider the fate of Paul Ryan, Jeff Flake, and others who were enemies of Trump. Martha McSally probably lost because of her prior Never Trump position. Republicans won 4 out of 6 statewide offices. Ducey won by 340,000 votes in the gubernatorial race, while McSally lost by 56,000 votes. Turnout in Arizona was about 2.35 million, so 17% of voters who voted for Doug Ducey switched to Kyrsten Sinema against McSally. In Texas, Ted Cruz suffered for his public dislike of Trump. While he won his reelection race, about 10% of voters who supported Greg Abbott for Governor did not support Cruz.
