As tens of millions of Americans prepared for the very real possibility they would lose their health care last week, Nevada's U.S. Sen. Dean Heller was doing a whole lot of nervous giggling. In one instance, Heller awkwardly laughed a little too heartily when President Trump casually threatened him on national television after positioning him as his right-hand man at a White House luncheon, asking the country, "Look, he wants to remain a senator, doesn't he?"
