Trumpism Without Trump Fails Badly

November 7, 2017 at 11:49 pm EST By Taegan Goddard

New York Times: “Lessons from off-year elections can be overdrawn, but the Virginia race strongly suggests that Republicans running in swing states will have to choose a side rather than try to straddle an uncomfortable line. Mr. Trump’s blunt force, all-or-nothing approach has worked in deeply conservative areas, but Republicans will have trouble replicating that in certain states in the midterms next year when faced with a diverse, highly educated electorate like the one in Virginia.”

Trump is a reductio ad absurdum of every single policy and stance the Republican party has had for 50 years.

Don't let anyone tell you different, and don't let them ever forget it. It is simply impossible to separate yourself from the orange toddler gorilla as long as you call yourself a member of the GOP.
