Donald Trump, whose name rhymes with Ronald Crump, went to meet Senate Republicans today to allay their fears that he is going to lose so badly that the GOP will lose the Senate as well.

Things did not go well!

Quoth the Washington Post:

When [Senator Jeff] Flake stood up and introduced himself, Trump told him, “You’ve been very critical of me.” “Yes, I’m the other senator from Arizona—the one who didn’t get captured—and I want to talk to you about statements like that,” Flake responded, according to two Republican officials. … Trump said at the meeting that he has yet to attack Flake hard but threatened to begin doing so. Flake stood up to Trump by urging him to stop attacking Mexicans. Trump predicted that Flake would lose his reelection, at which point Flake informed Trump that he was not on the ballot this year, the sources said.

Go read the whole post. There’s a lot more.
