Yep, might be a good idea to put some distance between the down ballot and trump. Or not. After all, there is growing evidence that trump is capable of acting like an adult, and dealing in a professional manner with the issues he faces, right? Who cares if the dems are energized, when they have trump at the repub head!
"With a near-daily string of new scandals and unfavorable headlines — including this week’s news of a special counsel to examine possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia — a growing number of Republicans across the country are watching dispiritedly as Democrats become further energized to turn out their voters in 2018, potentially tipping not only congressional contests but state and local races down the ballot."
