I'm smart enough to know that if I am in a group of people that's getting picked off one at a time, I could be next, especially if I'm behaving the way they're behaving.

A Republican doesn't have to "like" Massie or Cornyn.

They just need to see what Trump's doing to them and understand they could be next.
