Trump's Role in Midterm Elections Roils Republicans

[UCmeNdc]

Congressional and party leaders and even some Trump aides are concerned that the president’s boundless self-assurance about politics will cause him to ignore or undermine their midterm strategy. In battleground states like Arizona, Florida and Nevada, Mr. Trump’s proclivity to be a loose cannon could endanger the Republican incumbents and challengers who are already facing ferocious Democratic headwinds.

Republicans in Washington and Trump aides have largely given up assuming the president will ever stick to a teleprompter, but they have joined together to impress upon him just how bruising this November could be for Republicans — and how high the stakes are for Mr. Trump personally, given that a Democratic-controlled Congress could pursue aggressive investigations and even impeachment.

1. There will likely be Republicans who suffer at the polls this fall for Trump's tantrums.

But as the saying goes, when you lie down with a dog you can't complain when you get fleas.

2. Trump doesn't care

He only cares about seeing his own name in the headlines. He'll say whatever he thinks will get him approval from whoever he's talking to at that time.

4. RUMP is his own worst enemy, and has no on else to blame...

if should something go wrong or elections fail from a gop viewpoint badly. He's done this blame game routine so many times that it is like the little boy who ran screaming Wolf, Wolf, Wolf!! when there wasn't any at that time. One time, however, when it counts, crying Wolf isn't going to work.

The credibility of this president is shot. His promises are empty as the hot air that propels spittle 20 feet away. He's shown why he's declared bankruptcy so many times. His governing is a disaster. His cronies in Congress and their governing is a disaster, especially for those in need of government help during their hard times (we all occasionally have life-threating events occur in our lives, look at Puerto Rico and RUMP. Disgusting.

I guarantee you soon that one or more of RUMP's properties will go belly up. If the vacancy rates continue at the rates they have been going (vacancies at RUMP-themed buildings have been increasing/buildings have been renaming themselves anything but RUMP), there will be a time when RUMP will clearly violate the separation of business (his only) while ignoring the needs of the country.

Ah, just beating around the bush, sorry for the rant. Have a nice Sunday!
