I can't say we didn't warn people this would happen, but when senior Republican strategists talk like this three months from election day something is seriously afoot. I'm beginning to think Donald Trump gifts Democrats with the House and the Senate, besides the presidency. And no one is to blame but Republicans who supported this man and made him the national nominee.
"....As if that weren’t enough, Republican strategist Matt Mackowiak on Thursday posted an epic tweetstorm describing the abject panic that has set in among Republicans, who now fear that they’ll suffer massive down-ballot losses if Trump stays on his current course.
“OK, this shit’s not funny anymore,” he began. “Trump is threatening elected GOPers at all levels in places that haven’t been competitive in decades… We are looking at an extinction-level event.”
Among other things, Mackowiak ripped Trump for continuing to campaign in Connecticut when any hope of winning that state is long gone. He also said that Trump needs to dial back his rallies and TV interviews, and spend an average of 20 hours a week doing preparation for the fall debates.
Does that sound like something Trump would really agree to? Probably not, but Mackowiak insisted that Trump had to do it anyway. “You can’t overstate panic inside GOP currently,” he said." ‘This sh*t’s not funny’: Strategist explains that Trump is causing an ‘extinction event’ for the GOP
