Crenshaw: Trump turns off suburban voters

Suburban voters are unusually repelled by President Donald Trump even if they lean conservative, freshman Rep. Dan Crenshaw told POLITICO on Monday.

“It’s no secret that in the suburbs, and especially amongst women, they’re turned off by Donald Trump,” the Texas Republican told Tim Alberta, POLITICO’s chief political correspondent, in a Texas Tribune Festival interview. “Does this mean they’re turned off by Republicans, does it mean they’re not center-right votes anymore? No, not necessarily. Not at all, actually.”

The president’s shaky support in the suburbs, particularly among higher-educated white voters, relative to 2016 has posed a serious threat to his reelection bid in multiple swing states and put places like Texas potentially within the reach of Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee.

Crenshaw, whose congressional district includes portions of Houston but also snakes into the city’s northern suburbs and exurbs, declined to surmise why this subset of voters is so disillusioned by Trump. But he said the distaste for Trump among some suburban voters does not represent a wholesale rejection of conservative politics.

Maybe some of them don't believe "Grab 'em by the pussy" is a Christian value?
