Trump privately tells donors it would be 'very tough' for GOP to hold Senate

[RandySF]

President Trump privately told donors this past week that it will be “very tough” for Republicans to keep control of the Senate in the upcoming election because some of the party’s senators are candidates he cannot support.

“I think the Senate is tough actually. The Senate is very tough,” Trump said at a fundraiser Thursday at the Nashville Marriott, according to an attendee. “There are a couple senators I can’t really get involved in. I just can’t do it. You lose your soul if you do. I can’t help some of them. I don’t want to help some of them.”

The attendee shared the president’s words on the condition of anonymity as the event was a closed-door gathering. It was held before the last presidential debate between Trump and Democrat Joe Biden.

The president — in a sentiment not shared by many of his party’s top officials and strategists — said he instead thinks the Republicans “are going to take back the House.” And many strategists involved in Senate races say the party’s chances at keeping the chamber are undermined by the president’s unscripted, divisive rhetoric and his low poll numbers in key states.

Soul?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

2. As Trump goes down, do does the House and Senate

There is NO way the Repubs are goung to take back the House. I read hete thst 538 gives Dems a chance to add 10 to 15 seats in the House.

4. They all f..king deserve to lose after supporting that POS!

It’s such perfect irony that the very person they supported is handing them their ass!

[Under The Radar]

5. You mean that there is no red wave? Makes a second impeachment look pretty easy though.

[Renew Deal]

6. They probably don't want his help

[Walleye]

7. You hear that Murkowski?He just can't get involved with you. His conscience won't let him. Go ahead

Vote to help him out like the obedient abused female Republican senator that you are.

[bdamomma]

8. He is so

totally screws up even when he tries to talk.

Projection you lose you soul??????? he has no soul.

Also "I can't help some of them" "I don't want to help some of them"???????

What the hell is that????????

VOTE HIM OUT!!!

10. this is pretty funny.

trump setting up his donors to buy the fiction that it's not his coattails the senate will go down on. and don't even his most ardent supporters know by now that he has no soul?

11. Take that Lindsey! But you got your SCOTUS appt.

Was it worth it, Lindsey? Even if you manage to win your race you are going to be in the minority, hopefully for the rest of your sorry career.

12. If Dump ever had a soul, I think someone else has already spoken for it

not mentioning any names, but...

[edhopper]

13. Or is what he really means is

stop giving money to these losers and give it all to me.

[Totally Tunsie]

14. So he truly believes Repugs will go down WITHOUT his support?

More likely, Repugs will go down because of his support. But then, in his warped mind, Down is Up, Light is Dark, In is Out, etc. Moron.

15. Trump saying he doesn't want to help some of them is his way of admitting he knows they're

gonna lose. He hates appearing weak (even though he does that quite a lot, and mostly self-inflicted) so instead of campaigning for them and failing, he stands back and says like a child "yeah, well, you didn't beat me, I wasn't even playing!"

16. Hmm... did you see Lou Dobbs calling Lindsey Graham a traitor to Trump?

Trump will definitely be saying Susan Collins is losing not because the Democrats are going to vote for her opponent in great numbers, but because she was insufficiently obeisant to him.
