2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDownballot Republicans Already Dumping Trump
First Read: More than two months before Election Day, its already happening: Downballot Republicans and top GOP leaders are dumping Trump. There was no public memo or major announcement in August just actions But heres the bad news: After Labor Day, almost every single Democrat in a House and Senate race will be tying their GOP opponent to Trump. So up and down the ticket, hundreds of millions of dollars in Democratic messaging will be Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. And when theres been that kind of disparity in messaging when one party is talking about one thing and the opposition is talking about everything else see 2006 and 2008 (Bush, Bush, Bush) or 2010 and 2014 (Obama, Obama, Obama) theres been a wave. November is going to go one of two ways. One, this kind of GOP separation from Trump is going to work like we saw in 1996. Or two, the bottom is going to fall out for the Republican Party.

We'll probably see all the RePub Senate contenders distancing themselves from Trump like McGrumps just did in his latest ad.
