Lesson from today: If Trump is on the ballot next year, the GOP is looking at a wipeout of epic proportions up and down the ballot. Anyone remotely associated with him in non-blood-red states/districts (and even some red ones) will be fortunate to eek out a win. Republicans can’t win without moderates & independents, and his name is mud with them. Hatred for Trump nationally is much stronger than even peoples’ own economic self interest. Millions will vote against him and the candidates he endorses, even to their own detriment. Today is a harbinger of things to come if Republicans stay on this path.

Nixon fed the base beer. Reagan made it grain alcohol punch, and Bush Jr. broke out the moonshine. Trump is meth. His people will vote for him no matter what.

Feel free. I've been repeating it since 2016...

I'd go one step further, and include Wilson giving them bread. He segregated the federal government, refounded the KKK, and erected a bunch of statues of traitors that specifically asked not to have statues of them ever made. Not to mention a shitton of other stuff.

Yeah, this "pollster" completely ignored all the surveys indicating a large anount of republicans are not even gonna vote if Trump's not on the ballot. It just sounds more like someone wanting to confidently declare a prediction for attention without actually analyzing the data for a proper understanding of public sentiment.
