Jeb Bush warns Trump's character may drag down GOP in 2018 elections
Source: USA Today
MIAMI Former Florida governor Jeb Bush warns that Republicans are in for a beating in the fall elections if congressional races focus on the rhetoric and character of President Trump.
Bush, an early front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination who tangled with Trump during the 2016 campaign, praised Trump's moves to roll back business regulations and sign into law a $1.5 trillion tax overhaul that slashes rates for corporations.
Despite support for those policies, Bush lambasted Trump's erratic leadership style, obsession with Twitter and "racist" comments that could cost Republicans control of Congress in November if they can't distance themselves from the former reality TV star.
"If the election is nationalized and it's not about the economy, then we'll lose," Bush told USA TODAY as Trump prepares to deliver the State of the Union address rounding up his first year in office. "If it's about the economy and it's driven by state or district interest, incumbents can do well."

(5,801 posts)the GOPee acts as though dump is their guy do or die, so apparently they haven't yet gotten the message that they are the lemmings following the orange turd over the cliff.
Not that I think Jeb!'s warning won't fall on deaf elephant ears.
