The longer GOP congressmen/women wait to unendorse Trump, the better

Right now, the GOP has only one possible thing they can do to have a better chance at reelection- they must publicly announce that they will no longer support trump. They must retract their endorsements and they needed to do it yesterday. The longer they wait, the better for Democrats, who need to gain majority control of the House and Senate.

As of today, only a few have so far done so. I expect a lot more to do so today. I will be happy either way. There is no winning scenario for Republicans. This is the candidate that they overwhelmingly elected. And he is obliterating an already fractured party.

rather being done for a moral principle it will have been a forced or coerced repudiation. That is not a good way to represent your party or constituents. I do not expect much from this crowd of Trump supporters and think (hope) it will hurt them in the upcoming elections.
