Trump hotel feud erupts between Lewandowski and Florida senators

MIAMI — It was supposed to be a friendly introduction between Republicans at the Trump International Hotel in Washington on Wednesday night, when the president’s former campaign manager and the Republican leader of the Florida Senate met.

But, witnesses say, the impromptu meeting between Corey Lewandowski, Florida Senate President Bill Galvano and Florida state Sen. Jeff Brandes unexpectedly morphed into a hostile debate over a question that encapsulates today’s GOP politics: How much credit should Donald Trump get for GOP successes?

The dispute — which ended with the hulking Brandes pointing at the slender Lewandowski as Galvano told his wife to hold his scarf — unfolded in front of the Senate president’s wife and daughter and about a dozen surprised Republicans and operatives in the lobby of the president’s hotel, where many gathered in a spirit of short-lived goodwill and unity following the funeral of President George H. W. Bush.

“We had a spirited conversation. Let’s just leave it at that,” Galvano, chuckling, told POLITICO the following day, confirming the dispute that Lewandowski denied ever took place. Lewandowski said reports of a disagreement were “not true” before he hung up the phone.

Three others who witnessed the contretemps and two others who had spoken to the senators also confirmed the surprising public disagreement and relayed the events to POLITICO. All described Lewandowski as needlessly confrontational and disrespectful to the senators who were caught off guard by the former campaign manager, now a reliable cable news defender and promoter of his former boss. The witnesses and confidants of the senators spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive moment.

1. Buyer's remorse. Trump does not come as advertised, just like his products.

The slick promotion makes a good sell but it's really just a piece of junk that belongs in the trash.
