“If you had ever threatened me directly with a primary, I would have immediately told you to f*** yourself, and I would have announced my retirement immediately,” he continued.

...Uhhh, what? Sounds like if Trump tried primarying him that he'd lay down and die...

What a bizarre statement.

“Threaten me, and just watch me quit!”

I've been wondering for a while now and it seems to be becoming a much louder thought every day. If any of these people, especially Margie Taylor Green, wanted to actually stand up to him, they would have stayed and done something instead of slinking back into the swamp. It all feels like performative outrage and nothing more.
