This is not at all surprising. One of Trump's biggest flaws is how petty he can be. Look at how he's treated Thomas Massie and Rand Paul who both supported him when it was not popular. But then when he does things that go against their long standing principles he can't look past that but has to single them out. Its how he rolls.

Yeah... I strongly disagree. They are there to represent their people that voted for them. Their voters know what they are voting for and these guys hold to their principles pretty consistently vs. most politicians. I really think the biggest issue in politics is the party nonsense. The trading favors and all that. Yeah that's how it works... and that's why it doesn't work for the people.

What do you mean. If everyone acted like him we would be even more dysfunctional. He is elected as a leader and leaders don’t hold legislation hostage like they both have done before that helps their constituents and cuts red tape.
Massie and Paul aren’t leaders or followers they are just people who take something that isn’t complex and have to put their figure print on it and nuke the whole thing. I forgot what bill it was that Massie got everything he wanted but he still voted against it and essentially made multiple Congressional Staffs lives hell to say great we got what we want and then vote no

I imagine you also didn't like Ron Paul. These two are basically the modern day Dr. No.
You sound like you don't agree with their positions and just want them to compromise. I respect people saying no in a crowd of yes men. What you are describing though is exactly why I would never be in politics. Its a disgusting affair full of wheeling and dealing and back room deals.
