President Donald Trump is unhappy with Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) for impeding short-term spending plans.

Julian Zelizer : Massie has a base of libertarians and libertarian-leaning conservatives nationally.

He says Massie 's base has considerable overlap with Trump ’s.

Zelizer says many Republicans have ended their careers by fighting with Trump .

Jeff Sessions went from running unopposed in a 2014 general election for Senate in Alabama to failing to break 40% of the vote in a Republican primary runoff six years later following his break with Trump . Loyalty to Trump is important to the MAGA base. Trump also wants to weed out lawmakers who make it difficult for Republicans to govern with their narrow House majority as much as he seeks any particular ideological conformity within the party. Massie is nevertheless a different political animal than some of Trump ’s past intraparty foils..
