Seems like most people on this thread are forgetting a lesson that we should have learned back in 2016. I even posted this exact same line multiple times back then:

The first and most important obligation these GOP members of Congress have is to win their own races.

Remember how many vulnerable Senate Republicans there were back in 2016? And remember how astonishing it was that almost every one of them successfully defended their seats — even if it meant distancing themselves from Trump in that campaign season?

Keep in mind that every one of those GOP senators won their states by a larger margin than Trump did.

If these senators have internal polls that show they are in a better position to win by giving muted or non-existent support to President Trump, then so be it.

This should be the 12th commandment in GOP politics. Romney and some of his acolytes obviously forgot the 11th, handed down by Reagan: “Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican”.

AMEN. Some people here are just damn trolls.

A prediction of a 6 to 11 seat loss for us is so damn laughable. At worst, we break even. No net pickups or losses.

I still say we pick up one or two. The latest Arizona poll has Trump up 4 and McSally up 4.
