The Trump disaster is getting so bad I imagine Ryan and McConnell must be in full panic mode. The also know Trump is like that stubborn relative, who when asked not to do or say something, they deliberately do it just to be an ass.
HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!

(56,829 posts)The Koch Brothers, Sheldon Adelson, etc will completely abandon Trump and donate to endangered Republicans in the House & Senate. if they're really desperate, they may try to buy Trump off behind the scenes to drop out for health reasons. Then, they promote Pence/Ryan as saviors and hope for a bump in the polls.
That said, Democrats at those levels need to make it all about Trump and whether or not the Rep or Senator supports Trump. Hopefully, some angry Trump supporters will stay home if they realize Trump is a lost cause.
