Breitbart, trump, Bannon....they all wanted Gillespie to win, they all hyped Gillespie. Now that he lost, they disavow him. No loyalty with the trump/Bannon bunch. THAT is the take-away from these results...look for more GOP candidates to run from trump agenda. Voters sent a message.
Donald Trump has no respect or loyalty to any person except himself. He is what we used to call a "fair weather friend". As long as he needs you, he is your best bud, but as soon as he doesn't, or perceives you as a liability, he runs that bus over you.
That is one of the aspects of his character that will help in his fall. His staff and associates know that about his makeup, and know he would screw them over in a heartbeat. So, when they feel it is them or him, they will provide Mueller with all the information he needs. They will sing like little birdies.
When I saw President Trump's tweet last night, I certainly thought it ill-advised. Republicans must be thinking to themselves that Mr. Trump is, perhaps, not the best person to have in your corner.
Let us recall when the US House passed that "Repeal Obamacare" bill. Mr. Trump hosted a victory party for House Republicans in the Rose Garden, called it a perfect bill, praised all. Yet, just a few weeks later, after it began to look like the bill would not pass the Senate, Mr. Trump called the House bill 'mean', subsequently affirming that he used the term, and even claimed that Mr. Obama 'stole' the word from him.
It was an appalling example of Mr. Trump throwing his party members under the bus. As I said back when this happened, you may be sure that in November 2018 the Democrats will be bringing this up. Since all House Republicans voted for said bill, none can escape that particular tarring.
Republicans will also recall Mr. Trump's tepid endorsement of Mr. Strange, even stating during the rally speech, with Mr. Strange even standing there, that perhaps he was wrong to endorse Mr. Strange.
Yes, those House Republicans running for re-election next year, as well as those Senate Republicans (at least, those that have not recently announced that "I'm out of here") have a difficult choice to make: 'embrace' Mr. Trump and what he (at times) stands for, or distance themselves from Mr. Trump.
Go to CNN.com if you want to see a site obsessed with hate over trump. The top 10 articles are hit pieces. They even take North Koreas side.
This is a republican problem, they are the ones up for election next year not the president. And they have failed to get anything major accomplished so right now they will deserve to lose unless that changes
