Self-cannibalization is rampant within the Republican Party as feral colleagues increasingly turn on one another. While President Trump was flashing his fangs at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., recently, his budget chief was personally and openly attacking another member of Congress on Twitter.
