Senators in Trump's own party are standing up to him over the mess he's made of the Reflecting Pool.

Rep. Espaillat, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, just lost his primary — despite endorsements from the CHC's and Progressive Caucus's PAC. The institutional left closed ranks around him. Voters didn't care. This should be a flashing red light for deadbeat Democratic incumbents.🧵
