JC Watts on Trump Punishing GOP Senators for Opposing Health Care Bill: I Don’t Think that Dog Will Hunt

EXCERPT:

WATTS: “Chris, good luck trying to whip Jeff Flake into line. I think the people that you talk about targeting, the people who are opposed to the health care bill or have some problems with the health care bill — i.e. Rand Paul, Jeff Flake, Susan Collins — I just don’t think that dog will hunt and say, 'I will spend my personal money or RNC money or senatorial committee money in trying to defeat them. Those people got elected just like the president did. I think it is a very difficult thing to tell grown men and women that they will be punished when they feel like they are defending the honor and the direction that their constituents are asking them to take.”
