The flood gates have oppened in the media…
The once unthinkable IS occurring….
And?
How will the supposedly party ‘leader’ deal with it?
The Trump Brand Is Wounded
Republican strategist David Urban, a former Trump adviser, told the Associated Press that the Trump brand is wounded “no matter what the former president says.”
Said Urban: “Of course, he’s going to claim victory, right? The president touts an accomplishment record that includes victories in uncontested races. He can say whatever he wants. But how do people feel in America? I think people feel not great about the Trump brand right now. It’s bad.”
Urban to the New York Times: “Republicans have followed Donald Trump off the side of a cliff.”
Quote of the Day
“I think Trump’s kind of a drag on our ticket. I think Donald Trump gives us problems, politically. We lost the House, the Senate and the White House in two years when Trump was on the ballot, or in office. I think we just have some Trump hangover. I think he’s a drag on our office, on our races.”
