That’s what Trump called McConnell at this weekend’s RNC donor retreat — in the latest demonstration of the GOP’s intra-party fight that’s intensifying their primaries across the Senate map.
The event also showed how Trump remains the “undisputed leader” of the GOP, prompting Republican donors to express concern he’ll “use his financial prowess to fill the coffers of far-right candidates who may face headwinds in a general election.”
Meanwhile, the NRSC responded to these vicious attacks by announcing they had invented a fake award to give to Trump — the latest example in a “recurring theme” of Rick Scott’s White House ambitions “colliding” with his Senate campaign role.
