Not nearly as much as we wanted, but that's why he went after them.

Pence is the most famous example of this.

Cornyn never really ever bucked him.

And Trump still...

stung him, to use the scorpion analogy.

And now after Trump ends his career, he's like posting this cryptic, I mean, it's not very cryptic, but he won't name Trump's name.

He's like, there's an old fable, the frog and the scorpion, and you know you're going to get stung and be careful.

And it's just, it's unbelievably pathetic.

Case by case, I think.

Yeah, I think case by case for sure.

I don't know.

I'm not getting my hopes up, though.

No, me neither.
