"Rep. Mark Sanford, R-S.C., said President Trump threatened to run a primary challenger against him in 2018 if he voted against the Republicans’ proposed replacement for Obamacare."

trump learned this intimidation technique from his mafia buddy's.
This is how he negotiates.

Rep. Mark Sanford: Trump threatened to go after me to win my vote on health care

Yeah, the Mafia was well known for using logical, legal methods to accomplish their goals.
Not to mention how folks of German descent were always ranked pretty high up in the family.

Name one single President in history who ever publicly threatened his own party members under such circumstances ? BY NAME, because they voted their conscience.

I will agree, and glad you are seeing that not only is he simply a politician, but a corrupt and inept one.m I am telling, beginning in 2018, the Democrats will take control. Of course they need to get out of their way first, but Trump is toast.

I emphasize "corrupt" because I will give him a break for being new, which to most human beings means....don't even try to be corrupt.

60 days in office,,,,at least two investigations....first legislation attempt shot down even though he has control over both House and Senate....during campaign, railed against NAFTA..now backing off.....Mexico Wall...already was in the works and Mexico flat out will not pay...Needs real help with health insurance....what is left, oh...and he needs those he threatens to pass tax change.

Now, appears engaged in cover up for what we are not sure.

OH, and he has always, his entire life been called a liar and bully. I mean, his entire life.

When the articles of impeachment are drawn up against Trump (and I believe they eventually will be)...he's really gonna be wishing he hadn't pizzed off so many of his own party members.

Not that it really matters though, because as I've said from the minute he squeaked by in the electoral college, he never really wanted to work as hard as a POTUS has to...so he'll just resign.

He'll then run around bragging about how once being POTUS (the disgrace will never register with him)...has BIGLY increased his business holdings.

You can't pour cement in NY,NJ without going through the mafia. Local knowledge prevails.
