Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump’s influence in the Republican Party is “waning.”
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “Do you think Republicans are increasingly receptive to that message? Do you think Donald Trump’s hold on your party is finally slipping?”
Toomey said, “Absolutely I do. First, I think his influence was waning, not as quickly as I had hoped it would. I think it was waning. But the election outcome from last month, I think, dramatically accelerates the waning, and, frankly, his unbelievably terrible rollout of his re-election, his election campaign is also not helping him. Yeah, I think you see it manifested in a number of ways. One obvious way was quite an impressive turnout of prominent Republicans who have been going to events like the RNC meeting in Las Vegas, openly talking about themselves as candidates after Donald Trump had already made it clear he was running. So it tells you that they perceive the Republican electorate to be much more open.”

Well, to give him his due, he should know all about “waning”. His has waned ever since he decided he didn’t have the stomach to run for re-election.
Sounds like a Never Trumper. Ignore him!
You’ve been a real help with PA, Toomey
Toomey is a RINO. What did you expect?
Celebrating faggots does that. Trump finally lost me.
TOOMEY: RINO all the way.
Toomey’s influence in the party is ZERO so why does anybody care what he thinks?
Leave it to Breitbart to publicize Republican Rinos and failed Republican politicians.
I think Toomey’s influence is gone
I did see that, disgusting.
Identity politics and the cult of personality is for Democrats.

Toomey waned long ago.
Go back to Wall Street Pat where you came from and...
Toomey is done. Trump at least is unknown.
Sure it is. Just because the GOPe squishes are squealing louder does not mean there are more of them.
Geez, I wonder why?
Add unabashed endorsement of McCarthy to this list. That one is a hard red line with me. That will not workout. I hope I am wrong, but I highly doubt it.
The “we fight for gays” line by Trump was disgusting. Who is we?
Trump’s influence is waning? Anyone else ever hear that more than a few thousand times?
I don’t doubt Trump’s influence is waning in Toomey’s circle of friends, but Senator Toomey’s influence with America loving, conservative Republicans is nil. What’s the best thing Toomey ever did for Republicans? He retired!
Great job fighting to save the seat for the GOP, Senator! /S
