Republicans in Tight Races More Likely to Abandon Donald Trump

"While Donald Trump’s non-traditional presidential campaign has attracted its share of criticism from both Democrats and Republicans alike, recent controversies, like the discovery of a video in which Trump is captured making disparaging remarks about women and subsequent claims of sexual assault made against the candidate, have pushed many in the GOP to a breaking point."

"An ABC news count of notable Republicans running for election to Congress this year finds 34 candidates who have explicitly stated they will not vote for Trump. Of the 34, 20 are running in competitive elections, defined by ABC’s race ratings as “Tossups” or leaning towards either party. Safe districts and states are termed “Solid.”


"Of the other Republican senate candidates opposed to Trump, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/kelly-ayotte.htm) of New Hampshire, and Joe Heck, running to replace Sen. Harry Reid (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/harry-reid.htm) in Nevada, find themselves in races rated as tossups. Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, an outspoken critic of Trump, is facing a stiff challenge from Rep. Tammy Duckworth (http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/tammy-duckworth.htm). Their state is rated as “Leans Democratic.”



==========================================
Thanks to ABC News for this report.

Imho, Many more Republicans continue to jump from Trump's ship. And decidedly so. They simply cannot see working with him as president and that is very telling. They are obviously making the right decision in abandoning Trump and going out on their own rather than hanging on to his coattails that are obviously not long enough for them to win reelection.

The forum rules will be strictly observed by participants in this thread or non-conforming members will be thread banned.

If You Don't Like What Is Being Discussed In the OP You Can Always Do the Courteous Thing and Just Leave the Thread.

I think I'd vote for their best opponent just to spite them for being spineless.

They are all limpwristed Liberal RINOs. Not a single Conservative in the bunch.

That's because a Trump presidency would mean a complete collapse of the Republican party. Those Republicans want what's best for their party and that would be a Clinton presidency.

She will be the best thing that happened to the Republicans since the first Clinton administration. She will help create a conservative revival in America.

She'd need a Democrat controlled legislature to accomplish her goals.

[maineman]

some of them she can accomplish with only a democratically controlled Senate.

[Tahuyaman]

Still, a Trump administration would result in a complete collapse of the Republican party. A Clinton administration will result in a conservative revival of the Republican party. Smart politicians know that.

again.... what prognostication method do you use? And please show us the results of your polling of "smart politicians" that allows you to come up with the second sentence - which is phrased as a declarative fact, and not an opinion, btw.
