LAST EDITED ON Aug-22-17 AT 11:14PM (MST)[p]I have to wonder if Trump going to the offense on cleaning out milk toast Republicans in order to get his agenda going. If he can do it, other career status quo members of Congress will set up and take a hard look at their position.

President Donald Trump on Monday gave a somber address about his strategy in America?s longest-running war in Afghanistan. But that tone will likely change as he holds a campaign-style rally Tuesday night in Phoenix ? where Trump has tossed out some of his more visceral rhetoric ? and feeds supporters samples of what made them love him in the first place.
It could be a pep rally for Trump after the criticism he got last week from many Republicans for the way he appeared to give a nod to white supremacists after the racial violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. The president has also come under heavy criticism for the disarray in the White House that has led resignations and firings in his team?s top tier, and for having no major legislative accomplishments to show for his seven months in office.
One of Trump?s first major rallies after he launched his campaign was in Phoenix in July 2015, a month after his presidential announcement speech, in which he declared that Mexico was sending rapists, drug dealers and criminals into the United States.
?So the Mexican government does not care about the border nearly as much as they care about bad trade deals that the United States is making with Mexico,? he said then.
It was also the start of Trump?s longstanding war of words with Arizona Sen. John McCain.
?We have incompetent politicians, not only the president,? Trump said in reference to then-President Barack Obama. ?I mean, right here in your own state, you have John McCain.?
This remark came a full week before Trump said McCain was ?a war hero because he was captured.?
Since then, Trump has taken to criticizing Arizona?s other Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, tweeting that he was ?WEAK on borders and crime,? and showing support for the senator?s Republican primary opponent, former state Sen. Kelli Ward.
Similarly, Trump?s pivot from acting presidential to throwing red meat to his constituents has precedent from almost a year ago.

Just finished watching the last of his rally speech. He is on the offensive and two Arizona GOP Senators may not be around next election after their primary. Blasted fake news CNN very well also.
