Trump Is Sowing the Seeds of His Own Demise

Doug Sosnik: “Rather than trying to minimize the impact of the scandals, Trump seems to look for new opportunities to introduce his personal problems into the Oval Office. His words and actions simply serve to remind the public how obsessed he is with the accusation that his campaign colluded with the Russians during the 2016 election, as well as with the criminal investigation of his personal lawyer.”

“These mistakes will increase pressure on his Republican congressional supporters — particularly in the Senate — to disavow him at a time when Trump can least afford it. No matter how well the Democrats do in November’s midterm elections, Trump’s fate will ultimately be determined by Republicans in Congress. They are the only ones who could put enough political pressure on the president to either leave office or decline to run for a second term.”

“So far, congressional Republicans haven’t had to pay a price for supporting Trump. That is likely to change if Republicans, as is expected, suffer significant losses in November.”

1. Even if his approval number is 42 percent, which is his most recent high mark,

if 42 percent vote for proTrump candidates, and 58 percent vote for Democrats, Republicans lose by... drum roll, 16 percent. NOT by 8 percent. Most folks in Congress understand this.
