For those who paid any attention to the Virginia race, it’s obvious the president’s message is wrong. It’s equally obvious that Trump has no real sense of loyalty to anyone but himself. But most importantly, GOP candidates were reminded that if they’re counting on Trump to give them an election boost, this isn’t a president who can deliver – even for those who stick to the Trump script.
And that leaves the president’s partisan allies in an exceedingly awkward position. If they start moving away from Trump, the GOP’s rabid base will punish them. But if Republicans continue to carry water for Trump, the party will face a backlash, just as they did yesterday.
