In a Newsmax interview, Donald Trump’s handpicked Republican National Committee chair, Joe Gruters, attempted to downplay the recent elections, where Republicans were handily defeated in Trump-won areas. But he did threaten us with a good time, saying that if Democrats win the House in the midterms, Trump will be impeached and investigations will be launched into “everybody in the Trump administration.” Sounds like a plan!
However, while he’s been urging Trump’s base to stick with the president, he also predicts doom for Republicans in the midterms. The Bulwark reports that Gruters said, “It’s not a secret. There’s no sugarcoating it. It’s a pending, looming disaster heading our way.”
“We are facing almost certain defeat,” he said. “The chances are Republicans will go down and will go down hard.”
As for Trump shitting on hard-working Americans by calling affordability “a hoax,” one strategist told the outlet: “His message sucks. It’s absolute trash. ‘Affordability is a Democrat hoax’???”
Via The Bulwark:
Asked about Trump’s affordability message, a Georgia-based Republican wrote simply: “It’s landing like doo doo,” before sending a screenshot of the results of this week’s shock Democratic victory in a special election in a normally red Georgia state House district.
