Hume: GOP in Congress Has Every Right To Be Afraid of Trump’s Twitter Account

‘I think it’s interesting that they are afraid of his Twitter account and I think they have a right to be’

HUME: "And if you look at the upcoming legislative battles that are ongoing, it will be important for Trump to do a couple of things and one of them will be to keep the Republicans in line in House and Senate. It will be harder in the Senate, perhaps, it always seems to be. Of course, the margin there is much narrower for the Republicans. And it will also be important for him to be able successfully to pressure Democrats who they will need for say, to break a filibuster on a Supreme Court nomination. So he’s got this dartboard called Twitter and he can aim these little missiles at various members and take them on. It doesn’t mean he will win the argument but it means that he has the power to start the argument and to call attention to all kinds of things. I think it’s interesting that they are afraid of his Twitter account and I think they have a right to be."
