” And whether people like Ukraine funding or not, THE ISSUE is he failed to stick to his promise to keep any funding for it tied to US border security. “
Yes. And the demoralization of one’s own voters is much worse when you cave.
Repubs voted unanimously against the 1994 Crime Bill, Obamacare, Clinton’s tax increase and did well in the following election.
Repubs had a seven seat majority and in a year it is down to one. It’s just not realistic that they can hold a one seat majority thru January, and Trump is making voter-demoralizing decisions on the hope that a one vote majority can be maintained.
It’s a big step to throw the opposition candidate off the ballot. I don’t think the Dems can do it with a one or two majority. A few of them are in Trump districts. Some are not like Raskin and are not willing to act like Maduro to “get” Trump.
It’s not automatic that Dems vote to throw Trump off the ballot.
It IS automatic that demoralized Repub voters weaken both Trump and Repubs in Nov.
Great analysis thanks.
