    The backdrop is that in a state Trump won by 19, the poll puts his net approval now at only +2. He's -6 among college + whites....even in Indiana & Donnelly leads among them, while staying w/in range among non-college whites. The white-collar recoil from Trump isn't just coastal

    Needless to say that if these numbers are accurate, the GOP has a problem on its hands in a state it had big hopes of winning

    How different would the unvarnished thoughts of senior Rs in Congress look? And yet all excuse, defend & enable his abusive behaviors, threats 2 rule of law & alliances b/c he picked the lock & won the WH, which is what allows them to pursue their own priorities: tax, reg, judges

    Trump advisers on Trump, per various reports over last 2 years: Tillerson: “a fucking moron” McMaster: “idiot,” “dope” Kelly: “unhinged,” “idiot” Barrack: “crazy,” “stupid” Cohn: “dumb as shit,” “a professional liar” Mattis: like a “fifth- or sixth-grader” Dowd: “a fucking liar”

    Now Taylor's staff are taking the 5th, never a good sign. Via

    I met Scott Taylor in Feb 2017, a confident freshman standing toe-to-toe at 3 straight town halls with more than 3,000 people, total. Now, he's holed up in his office, unwilling to talk to in a campaign scandal of his own making.

    The Crystal Ball, via House editor , moved VA-2 to TOSS UP well before this ruling. "Out and out fraud" judgment sure won't help GOP Rep. Scott Taylor in his reelection bid. Removal of African-American independent from ballot stops drain from D nominee Elaine Luria.

    Judge in Shaun Brown-Scott Taylor ballot fraud case finds “out and out fraud.” Rules Shaun Brown should be removed from the CD2 ballot.

    The other possibility is that both groups decide, like the GOP Congress, that whatever Trump does they see him as a vehicle to achieve other things they want-tax cuts, regulatory rollback, -& they will try to look away from Trump's many flaws to achieve those benefits.

    One of the questions Woodward’s book should force us to face is whether Trump fans will believe their instincts over the experience of Trump’s own senior aides who seem to disdain and distrust him.

    Brett Kavanaugh essentially just admitted that he'd overturn Chevron deference if he gets on the court. This is the biggest reason why big business is so pumped about him and has spent millions to get him confirmed. It would dramatically undermine the administrative state.

    And therefore I will...what exactly?

    GOP Senator Susan Collins tells Pres. Trump's tweet and reported comments in Woodward book amount to “continuing humiliation” of AG Jeff Sessions that is “deeply inappropriate,". She called it “inappropriate” for the president to comment about the GOP indictments.
