There is a photo floating around showing Feinstein trapping Murkowski up against the wall in one of the senate hallways. The demeanor speaks loudly and is one of a mafia boss laying down the law to little Lisa. No wall flower Feinstein.
She is afraid of Democrat Bullies. Trump needs to coach Senators on how to fight back. Graham, Cruz and Grassley were fighting back this time. Trump did not back down.
Some elected officials are full of fear, when bullies are aggressive.
