The impact of Trump’s disastrous 3 months on down ballot candidates was best summed up in the first text message I got back.

“Could you use a poop emoji for my comments?”

The assessment was excreta across the board.

“Every shred of evidence points to a likely ass kicking in the fall.”
“Well it’s as bad as it gets right now.”
“Right now most campaigns are thanking baby jesus every day the election isn’t held today.”
“I’ve got Trump down in Texas. [Republican Senator Steve] Daines down in Montana.”
“It’s certainly better than public polling, but it’s not good.”
“I told very high ranking people in the Trump Administration that it hasn’t been like this since October of 06” – when President Bush’s numbers were tanking over fallout from the Iraq War, Katrina, and the Mark Foley scandal.

2. Every day trump is still in office talking and tweeting

He destroys chances republicans will keep their positions in our Congress. He's not even a republican, trumps a lying corrupt and racist fascist dragging the Republican Party down to hell with him now. They dug their own political graves siding with trump and Putin, and against our service members , and the American people. Soon they will have consequences.

3. Good article

My one line take on the article is that the Republicans are willing to do, what they know to be the wrong thing, so save their precious positions.

I have to think that their stance is unsustainable in the long run. Willingness to sacrifice the nation to save the party is the essence of anti-Americanism.

4. conservatives have been the winners so far with federal judges and scrapping of federal rules and

regulations so its impossible for them to see the issue with trump about anything as morals and ethics really are not important to them

6. They are basically hoping to do as much as they can to destroy this nation before they are chucked

And fully blame the resulting chaos from their actions on the Democrats.

7. we are living the chaos now so it hard to blame some one in the future but nots rational thought any

way you look at it
