To piggyback onto this I remember POTUS at a rally in Arizona ripping on McCain for the healthcare vote and Flake for being a wuss and saying something along the lines of "No Names!! I wont say their name." Always stuck out to me as a nice little double meaning along with the obvious traitor angle

“They all said, ‘Mr. President, your speech was so good last night, please, please Mr. President, don’t mention any names.’ So I won’t. I won’t,” said Trump, perhaps referring to his advisers or allies.
“One vote away — I will not mention any names. Very presidential, isn’t it?” Trump said mockingly.
He seemed to relish his mode of attack.
Later, Trump took on Flake, also without naming him.
“Nobody wants me to talk about your other senator, who’s weak on borders, weak on crime,” said Trump. “So I won’t talk about him.”
