GOP Senators panic as Donald Trump threatens to take them down with him
Donald Trump is down by ten to fifteen points nationwide in his own reelection bid. He’s in serious danger of losing traditional GOP strongholds like Texas and Georgia. So what’s he doing to try to get out of this deep hole? Nothing, unless playing golf counts.
While Trump golfs his prospects away, seemingly content to simply lose the election, it turns out Republican Senators are panicking – at least the ones who have the bad luck of being on the ballot along with him this November. The Washington Post has documented that Joni Ernst, Susan Collins, and Thom Tillis are in full blown panic mode as Trump’s ugly numbers threaten to take the entire party down in 2020.
They’re not the only ones. In Palmer Report’s view, Cory Gardner is likely to lose in Colorado, Martha McSally is likely to lose in Arizona, and even Dan Sullivan in Alaska is in some danger. Every Republican is eventually going to have to answer for having supported a murderous criminal monster like Donald Trump. Some of them are going to have to answer as soon as November.
