You can always tell people like Trump, who didn't get their ass blistered with a belt or switch as a kid or paddling's in school too?!!
(CNN) Former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson isn't a big Donald Trump fan.
In an interview with NBC News, Simpson called Trump, among other things, a "spoiled brat" and said that "this guy is so full of himself that he would overturn every kind of rule of law or Constitutional process because of his own ego, which is twisted."
Simpson, a Republican, acknowledged that he voted for Trump in 2016 but noted that "I'll never vote for him again -- that's for goddamn sure."
Simpson is speaking out against Trump even as he appears in a new ad for Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, who faces long odds of winning a primary fight later this summer against Trump-endorsed challenger Harriet Hageman.
In the
, Simpson, who spent 18 years representing Wyoming in the Senate, is identified simply as "Al."
"Join me in voting for Liz Cheney on August 16th," the former senator, who is 90, says at the conclusion of the Cheney ad.
t's unclear how much influence Simpson retains in the state. He hasn't served in the Senate since 1997 although his father, Milward, served as both the state's senator and governor -- so the Simpson name is known in the state.
His reputation in the Senate was as a moderate -- and given that the party has moved considerably to the ideological right since he left, it's hard to even place Simpson in the current iteration of the Republican Party.
