Republicans are becoming very concerned about the recent poll numbers.

Senator Grassley of Iowa suggested that the White House do an "intervention" with Mr Trump or, otherwise, he would bring them wholesale defeat.

Finally, Donald Trump does something that gets their attention.

They never minded when he was making deals with Russia to help with his election. No big deal.

They never minded when he put our country at risk by dealing with the North Korean dictator.

They never minded when he was unilaterally selling nuclear materials to Saudi Arabia.

They never minded when he held up military aid to Ukraine until they helped him with his campaign against Joe Biden. They defended him when he was impeached for it.

But now, his low rankings in the polls is causing great alarm in their caucus. He might drag them down with him in November.

They have finally gotten serious.

They are very concerned.

They are going down because they are his people, his enablers. This whole mess is on them, not trump.

As ever, they think they have an image perception problem, not a fundamental belief and policy mistake. Don't these assholes own a mirror?

17. There is an increasing chance every day that Trump will be

jettisoned at the GOP convention.

If this happens, The Lincoln Project is going to pivot away from Biden and helping other Democrats.

I made a post about this several days ago and was mocked.

18. That's Not Going To Save Them

First, the 20-30% who are Drumpf Humpers, will just not vote. Or at least Many of them won't. The repubs know they can't win without them. Which is why they've tied themselves to their Cult Leader.

You can't cut off the Head without killing the body.

They could have dumped him during the Impeachment. Now they're in it to the end.

And who are they gonna nominate? Pence? Romney? Ain't gonna happen.

21. Hopefully nothing will save the GOP from what they have wrought.

Much can happen in the course of 30 days at present.

Maybe Nikki Haley?

I won't be comfortable until Biden wins the election and we take the Senate to add to the House and Trump plus Barr, McConnell are clearly in the rear view mirror as flattened road kill.

No missteps in the meantime.
