A majority of the candidate that got washed out sucked or were never trumpers. Candidates who embraced Trump did better, way better.

This may be true but it has nothing to do with the election results in most districts.

My GOP incumbent representative was a "never Trumper," and he lost by about 2-3 points.

If a Republican who embraced Trump ran for this seat, he would have lost by at least 30 points.

There is a middle area as well

Work with Trump is better then a never Trumper

You can disagree with Trump on an issue but that doesn’t make you never Trump, it just makes you moderate

the never trumpers were people who were upset that Trump got in and not one of their corrupt cronies.

The GOP and Mr. Trump make a mistake if they make this entire venture totally about Trump. It has to be about the issues. It is a difficult spot for Mr. Trump. He is under personal assault every damn day. His inclination is quite normal to fight back.

But in doing that, it tends to serve as a distraction from the issues. When he focuses on the issues he is powerful and will win back many suburban voters. And if he isn’t the GOP at the local levels better as hell be NOW.

They should be recruiting candidates and doing so asap. They need to be ready to pounce when the democrats do what they are going to do, namely, go far left.
