Reacting to a flurry of Donald Trump Truth Social attacks launched on Christmas day, MSNBC host Chris Jansing asked her panel how Republican lawmakers plan to deal with four more years of erratic proclamations from president-elect.

Speaking to NBC political correspondent Jonathan Allen, she asked, "Jonathan, look, he's not even president yet, obviously he is the president-elect. But if you're a member of the U.S. Senate and you just got re-elected to a six-year term and he's going to be gone in four years, I mean, do you think that there's any doubt that we're going to have these situations where Donald Trump wants something and it's either going to be fish or cut bait?"

"Well, Chris, let me say if I was a United States senator who just got elected to a six-year term, I'd be asking for time off for good behavior because that seems like a terrible body to be serving in right now," he replied which led to laughter from the panel.

"Yeah they going to have to make determinations all the time about not only what do they do in terms of the places where they have power but what do they say about what the new president is now doing himself," he added. "We have seen moments where they stood up to him and basically told him to take a flying leap when he nominated Matt Gaetz to be attorney general."

"We may see other nominees fall by the wayside," he predicted. "You have to wait and see what happens in January. But, yeah, I mean these senators are going to be put in a bad position and for the Republican senators they're going to be put in a bad position of, you know, having to break with the Trump base every time they break with him and his outside allies, which have seen this before, Steve Bannon and others, who put tremendous pressure on those senators who are breaking with him every time they do it."
