Was Cassidy the only Senator that disagreed with Trump yesterday? [View all]

Did no one else speak up about the disastrous war he started?

He bad-mouthed Lisa Murkowski during their meeting, it was reported. He called her a "horrible person". Did no one dispute him?

Thune did not look pleased on their way to the meeting. Trump is putting all the pressure he can muster to get them to vote for the SAVE Act. But, to pass it, they would need to do away with the filibuster rule, which would allow them to pass the SAVE voter repression Act. But, even then, they probably do not have a simple majority.

It's pretty sad that no Republican will oppose him unless they have been defeated or are leaving the Congress. They are all hunkered in the corner like a litter of scared puppies.
