over the past 18 months, north korea has perfected their intercontinental ballistic missiles and tested its largest nuclear detonation rather than any verifiable steps to dismantle their program. it seems kim jong-un got everything he wanted in singapore, including international recognition and the suspension of u.s. military exercises. this dismantlement of a launching station may be good news but could be a sign that they have done all the tests they need to. it s more the art of the concessions than the art of the deal. we re weaker for it. last week russia and china blocked a u.s. request to impose penalties on sanctions violations calling our maximum pressure posture into question. as you know, i ve introduced bipartisan oversight legislation with senator gardner to provide the sort of support and guidance
one is factual, one is just an ugly feeling. now kaine is defend himself. here s what he has said about you, by the way. he called you a cruder imitation of donald trump who stokes white supremacy and would be an embarrassment for virginia if elected. that s what his spokesperson said about you. he does seem to be getting echo effect within your own party. mr. stewart. the former lieutenant governor of the state of virginia said i m extremely disappointed than someone like stewart could win the republican nomination for u.s. senate. clearly not the republican party i once knew, loved, and proudly served. every time i think things can t get worse, and there is no they do, and there s no end in sight. then you have a big shot when it comes to the republican party, and who they picked for senate, and he said this look, we have a big map, and right now, we re focused on florida, north dakota, missouri, indiana. big map, and i don t see virginia in it. senator gardner, not giving yo
the former lieutenant governor in your party, no love, but trump giving you love. does this mean you are the party that president trump want to cultivate? gardner and the others are going to come around. a lot of hurt feelings. i beat their guy. they didn t support president trump back in the day either. what s happening inside of the an party is the party ischangin. it s becoming the party of the little guy. once upon a time, it was the s party of t working guy. no l they slammed the door in their face and now it s president trump and the new republican party that is supporting working americans, blue-collar workers. that why we re winning states like michigan, wisconsin, ohio, and pennsylvania, and we re about to take back virginia as well. that s why trump may have won them, but i m talking about you. you seem to be cottoning to a very specific brand of humanity. and you re right. it is a little guy that you are being a part of, but it s a little hateful guy. you have a well pro
president and local and nationa. but that s part of what is animating bob corker here. he s very upset he didn t get his legislation voted on. senator corker would say it s a principle issue for the party. but this is donald trump s ithout a doubt. the president did win across the board.but in virginia, the repus have nominated the guy trump, corey stewart, who ran against tim kaine, and corey gardner, republican senator from colorado, who runs the senatorial campaign committee, just told cnn the campaign committee will endorse corey stewart. the president congratulated him, the president says corey stewart is great. senator gardner saying we have a big map. right now we re focused on florida, north dakota, indiana. i don t see virginia in it. that s picking aht with the don t t ts t it?
of people. if republican voters felt like it was so-called conservative principles, they had a lot of candidates to choose from in 2016. that s not what they zed. you can say that in a way, trump is exhibiting leadership over the party by moving it in his direction. hink that would be the nicer way saying it s a cult of personality. but it is cheerily what tleary s want and how doest play for the rest of the par to have a candidate like corey stewart represent them. in virginia where i live, the party feels like that s not a sown this guy.they wish they that s a key, key point of senator gardner s position. he knows whatever corey stewart says for the next five months is going to be drawn back to the other candidates in those four or five states he listed. senator gardner was one of the first people out on judge roy moore, saying they didn t even want him in the conference. this isn t a shift in that perspective, but he s looking at
