Republican president celebrating Republican losses right now.

Well, that’s certainly one approach to take …
Wow. POTUS now citing by name House Republicans who didn’t embrace him and who lost — Curbelo, Hugin, Faso, Love, Roksam, Coffman

"Mia Love gave me no love. And she lost. Too bad," President Trump says, going through the list of candidates from his own party who distanced themselves from him — and gloating about how they lost.

"Too bad Mike," Trump says, making fun of Rep. Mike Coffman for losing. Also seems to take glee that Rep. Carlos Curbelo and Rep. Barbara Comstock for not embracing Trump. "Mia Love gave me no love. And she lost. Too bad. Sorry about that Mia."

Trump now making the case that Republican House members lost because they didn't embrace him enough.
Poor Corey Stewart, Jim Renacci and Lou Barletta should have really tried to embrace Trump harder.

"Looks like, I would think, Speaker Nancy Pelosi. I give her a lot of credit, she works very hard, and she's worked long and hard, I give her a great deal of credit for what's done and what she's accomplished. Hopefully we can all work together next year…" – Trump
