Apparently, the Republican party isn't melting down fast enough for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, so he's decided to speed the process along by telling Senators running for re-election that they can run ads against Donald Trump if they think it will do any good.

Dear GOP Senators: You will lose more Republican votes by trashing Trump than you would gain. And Democrats who vote for Trump wouldn't vote for you anyway.
In short, you will only make yourself more vulnerable if you listen to idiot McConnell.
I've never heard the like of it. GOP politicians distanced themselves from Nixon right before he resigned, but has there ever been a case where politicians backed away from their own nominee for president? The GOP is dissolving right before our eyes and could collapse in a heap after the 2016 election debacle that's coming.
One good thing about Trump winning the nomination; McConnell will go back to being an obscure minority leader. Perhaps he'll even be pushed out. Then he can give his ridiculous political advice to Democrats.

Donald may invite them to a few campaign events in their state. I am betting he has long, broad coattails.
If they sign on to supporting some of his reforms, they may manage to keep their seats.
It would be a real shame for them to have to watch his events from the audience instead of from the stage...
I have voted for McConnell since he first ran for County Judge here in KY. He has become what he once fought against, I will never vote for him again. Those that follow his advise will surely fall.
The CHEAP LABOR EXPRESS owns the GOPe....
They can’t, the people who own them and pay them to keep The Cheap Labor Express running would never let them admit it.
BruceCampbell’s chin acts like a democrat troll. I would advice all to ignore its worthless drivel.
I expect the stupid RINOs to realize this was anger against 20 years of the Republican not doing anything real on stopping illegal immigration, curbing legal immigration levels and the insane trade imbalance. Instead they are doubling down on stupid.
I don't like McConnell, but Senators are notoriously independent and difficult to lead. It's like herding cats. And the reality is that McConnell simply does not have enough Senators who are sufficiently conservative to force through a conservative agenda. Too many RINOs, but getting rid of RINOs that are from liberal States is not the answer because the only thing that will ever replace them is a more liberal Democrat.
So far, the Senate appears to be holding firm on the Supreme Court nomination. The Senate also has prevented substantive legislative amendments to the ACA, refused to pass his immigration legislation, and refused to pass his environmental stuff. A Democratic Senate majority would confirm that nominee and pass all that legislation.
Obama has done some workarounds with executive orders, but those are far easier to reverse than legislation, and some of those executive orders have been stricken down by the courts.
The bottom line is that as much as we might wish the Senate had been more confrontational, anyone who thinks they were no better than a Democrat-majority Senate would have been is simply ignorant.
Not my fault some of you folks don't seem to understand how important it is that we continue to control the Senate.
Amen. Can’t believe that people who declared war on every other elected Republican are shocked that those elected Republicans don’t agree with them.
That’s because they are all so safe and Mitch the Turtle Man is a political genius. This WON’T happen. They will read the polls and know we will vote for Trump and leave the polling places so Chuckie can take over. F&&^K YOU Mitch.

Croke already old ba$tard......
Yes. We can only pray to achieve your enromous level of intellect while supporting Mitch McConnell (heavy sarcasm intended)
I’d like to see Rubio lose his seat.
It's really amazing. You accuse me of being a Democratic plant because I argue how important it is that the Democrats not get control of the Senate.
That would be funny if those who think like you weren't so numerous. .
Feel free to go somewhere else.
