GOP Rep. Martha McSally (Ariz.) recently voiced concerns about Republicans losing the House to Democrats due to controversy surrounding President Trump's administration, according to a report from Tuscon Weekly.
In a private speech to the Arizona Bankers Association last week, McSally fretted that Trump's tweets are creating "distractions" that "it's basically being taken out on me."
"Any Republican member of Congress, you are going down with the ship," McSally said, according to the report. "And we're going to hand the gavel to Pelosi in 2018, they only need 23 seats and the path to that gavel being handed over is through my seat."
McSally said that voters don't care about incumbents but are focused on voting Republicans out of office. Polls have generally shown Republicans losing to generic Democratic candidates.
"Right now, it doesn't matter that it's me, it doesn't matter what I've done. I have an 'R' next to my name and right now, this environment would have me not prevail," McSally told the bankers, according to Tuscon Weekly.
"There's just an element out there that's just, like, so against the president," McSally said.
"And all of a sudden on Jan. 20, I'm like his twin sister to them. And I'm, like, responsible for everything he does, and tweets and says. And they want me to be spending my time as a pundit. 'I disagree with that. I agree with this.' I have a job in the legislature."
The anti-Trump group Indivisible Southern Arizona said that one of its members obtained audio from the May 30 McSally event, which the group posted on its website.
Democrats currently control 193 seats, and need a net gain of 24 seats for a majority in the House.
Arizona republicans in Congress are lame ass. We are waiting for Hildy to run and kick their behinds.
Get a grip lady...
2018 is going to be ANOTHER bloodbath for members of The Socialist Democrat Party.
I. Can’t. Wait. :)
We keep voting for these Republican women but none of them are conservative. No more women!

Trying to put the blame of a do nothing HOUSE on POTUS.
Well, anyone with such a pathetic lack of spine deserves to go. You’re supposed to fight for your constituents and this one is caving like a wet paper bag. Good grief, you’re believing polls??? POLLS???? Maybe it’s a self fulfilling prophecy, the less you stand up for yourself the more likely you are to be bullied and lose.
Loser.
She represents Arizona but was born in Rhode Island. Looks like she brought the northeastern RINO attitude down there with her.
Amen...I can’t either, it’ll be more winning! :-)
Wow, what a pessimist.
While I hope that the GOP gains seats, especially in the Senate, I hope that she loses hers and will never be heard from again.
Hey McSorely, if you and your fellow RINOs weren’t working at every turn to obstruct President Trump, you’d find far fewer “distractions.”
YOU are the problem.
What a whiney brat. If Pres. Trump had not won, she wouldn’t be in Congress. She should be primaried.
Even terrorist Lopez Rivera is blaming the Puerto Rican parade fiasco on Trump, today in the NY Post. They think they can use him like a bich but people are starting to laugh.
Don’t need sissies Martha. Resign.
Well, get off your ass and do someting...ANYTHING
She is so out of it she would keep on hiting herself in the head with it.
If the rats get the house back it won’t be because of President Trump. It will be because morons like McSally did not do what they promised to do.
Martha McSally Is Not Endorsing Candidate Donald Trump, So You Can Stop Asking About It
