Donald Trump Jr. is preparing to dive into the 2018 midterm elections.
What's next: He wants to use his influence within the Republican base to "expand our majority in the Senate and protect our majority in the House," said a source close to the president's son. Expect Don Jr. to be raising money for Republican candidates and staging rallies.
Don Jr.'s priority states for midterm Senate races: West Virginia, Missouri, Montana and Indiana.
Between the lines: Those are all states where President Trump has solid approval ratings. A source close to Don Jr. said he believes his brand of "MAGA conservatism" pro-gun, anti-media, anti-establishment could make a difference in turning out the base in these states.

Good Lord that cretin is disgusting.

More than anyone else except his father, I can't imagine a more un-f***kable human being.

Junior ranks somewhere between a scorching case of herpes and a tax audit on the likeability scale. He can only help us.

An oxymoron, like military intelligence.
Particularly when talking about Jr.
