WASHINGTON Republican senators facing tough re-election contests may have to figure out how to distance themselves from the partys presidential nominee, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) suggested Sunday.
Senate races are statewide races. You can craft your own message for your own people, McConnell said on CNNs State of the Union. Thats exactly what we intend to do this fall no matter who the nominee is.
In other words, Senate Republicans are not exactly uniting behind Donald Trump. CNNs Dana Bash asked McConnell if hes worried having Trump at the top of the ballot will hurt Senate Republicans in those statewide races.
Were going to be running strong with these incumbents no matter who the nominee ultimately is, McConnell said. I intend to support the nominee of our party, and well find out who that is in the coming months.

...not an original simile of my own, alas...but very fitting. GOP "distancing" itself from its own Frankenstein monster...
