Obama turns his wrath on GOP Senate hopefuls [View all]

His deep disdain for Donald Trump now long established, President Barack Obama is turning his arrows on Republican lawmakers stuck with the GOP nominee, landing Air Force One on their turf and unleashing a torrent of insults.
He ripped Ohio Sen. Rob Portman in Columbus last week as a too-little-too-late political opportunist for disavowing Trump only after the presidential nominee boasted about sexual assault. He lashed Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in Miami as a weak-minded hypocrite who once ran against Trump but now worries about alienating his backers.
And on Sunday in Las Vegas, he declared GOP Rep. Joe Heck, running to replace retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, a closet Trump supporter, even as he's disavowed the candidate.
"How does that work?" Obama said with disdain during a raucous campaign rally here. "You're for him, but you're not for him. You're kind of for him. What the heck?"
"That's not leadership. That's cynical," Obama said. "That means you'll say anything and so anything just to get elected."
