“he certainly doesn’t have his fingers on the pulse of DC Republicans nowadays.”

Really? I’m not going to say that about the consultant who has been hired by all the party’s top leaders except Trump. It’s like saying the handpicked spokesman for a series of GE ceos has no idea about the culture and inner workings of GE. Bush family, McCain and Romney ARE the GOP - they were it’s standard bearers for 20 years before Trump, and most GOP elected in DC, esp in the Senate, are still Bushites. Even in the House - notice how they gave Liz Cheney the no 2 job in her first term. And they made Paul Ryan their leader

Mike Murphy is more representative of the GOP establishment, including its Senators and many in the House, than Trump is

Where are the Bushes and the McCains today? Not in Congress.

You know, you could make the same argument about Joe Scarborough.

In the Nineties, he must have been exactly where the Republican Party was in DC in terms of his attitudes and positions, but what's he saying now?

Too many cocktail parties with Democrats can make a GOP stalwart lose touch with what Republicans - even elected DC Republicans - are thinking.

They don't love Trump in DC, but half of them aren't going to vote to impeach him.

Even Nixon had supporters until the tapes came out, and Trump is doing a lot better in the polls than Nixon was at that point.

Murphy spent $100 million dollars to get Jeb Bush elected president (no, it wasn't his own money), and Bush won all of 3 delegates.

And the idiot doesn't even know that Senators vote to convict or acquit, not to impeach.

How in touch with anything could the guy possibly be?

I'm not saying Trump is loved by Senate Republicans. I'm just saying this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. His estimate is way too high.
