What do you want the President to do? He is not in the Senate. He is not in Congress. He is not micromanaging. He knows if he says too much the morons will vote th opposite.
Trump should have said nothing.
I watched the President live and I agree with your assessment about why he didn’t want to say too much. Tump doesn’t control the Senate and he has talked in campaign speeches this fall about the “razor thin” majority - Republicans don’t have a majority without Flake, Murkowski and Collins. These senators might as well be Democrats. Whether we like it or not, these three RINO senators are controlling this process. It’s really upsetting, but it’s the way it is and I hope it will create some urgency for conservatives to support conservative candidates.
