How the Democrats can take back the Congress? [View all]

The key is whether or not their Republican opponents support Donald Trump for President.

If they don't support him, they will turn off many potential voters and, most likely, will lose a lot of votes in their own races. They will feel pressured to support the nominee of their Party.

However, if they support Trump, they could possibly lose a lot of votes, also. They are in a "damned if they do - damned if they don't" situation.

Since their inclination is to support Trump, Democrats must make those Republicans pay for that decision. How can they support someone that they have criticized so strongly in the past? How can they support someone that has nothing to offer our country except insults and negativity? How can they support someone that they know is a threat to our national security? How can they support someone that is not a "real conservative"?

These are the questions that Democrats must ask in every race where the Republican is supporting Donald Trump. They must pay for such a lack in judgement.
