McConnell signal to Republican Senate candidates: Distance from Trump if necessary

CNN ^ | July 31, 2020 | Michael Warren and Jamie Gangel

[Rennes Templar]

McConnell went to Epstein's Island too?

[ifinnegan]

If necessary.

But why do they think it would be necessary?

These guys are in the bubble.

[butlerweave]

Time to retire Mitch and get someone that’s not Wishy Washy

[JoSixChip]

said one senior Republican on Capitol Hill.

Who? romney or collins?

[Trueblackman]

McConnell and CNN report? NOPE DOPES!

[sheehan]

CNN is fake news.

[Alberta's Child]

This doesn’t bother me at all. Those of us who paid attention will remember that THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN 2016.

We should always remember that Trump is not a Republican. He’s an independent nationalist who ran on the Republican ticket.

[fortheDeclaration]

A sure way to lose!

[tet68]

I guess any candidate that distances themselves from
President Trump can just ride SloJo’s coat tails right
into oblivion.

[jospehm20]

If it werent for getting judges confirmed, McConnell would be a Ryan type failure.

[Huskrrrr]

A losing strategy from a loser.

[Pox]

It's CNN and not believable in its entirety.

There may be some truth to it, but every election cycle we hear the same shit.

I have no doubt Collins and MurCOWski are more than happy to distance themselves, but if they truly believe the polls, internal or otherwise, they are not in touch with reality on the ground, IMO.

What a curious article and I recommend everyone actually read it. It’s a masterpiece of the art of weaving disparate threads together and tying them into one narrative

[chief lee runamok]

""They just need to show they are independent on issues important in their states.""

Isn't that why senators get elected?

[glennaro]

Wow! Talk about a failure to read the electorate ...!

[kiryandil]

Oh, it's XiNN - The "Xi News Nitwits".

I'm old enough to remember stories exactly like this in 2016...

[escapefromboston]

The winning strategy that handed the House to the Dems.

[Truth29]

With a major assist, or maybe active sabotage, by Tim Ryan.

[crosdaddy]

Who is Tim Ryan?

[davidb56]

The TURDle likely pent time at Epstein island with some boys. Both he and Lynda Graham have “history”. I bet TURDle’s wife pays the pool boy real good.
