Nah, I mean who is stalling it for him. He certainly doesn't want to be tough on Russia, and their are a few house Republicans like McCarthy who are also widely believed to be compromised or otherwise in Russia's pocket.

It's amazing that a seat that was a 1 point difference in the last general election is even close with Trump's approval rating being at 35%. The dems should be winning these seats by 10 points.

I think it's very possible that Republican voters are differentiating between Trump and other Republicans. It does feel like he's being treated as this crazy outlier and not the product of the far right which the GOP has been facilitating for decades. I guess we'll find out today.

Trump's tweets are considered by the White House to be official statements:

Banning Trump would be seen by the White House as criminal, regardless of written law, because they'd be messing around with their communications

Yeah it's really amazing.

That a county that elected Trump is filled with Trump supporters.

Most of whom still support Trump.

A county which also leaned heavily (+22) for the GOP House candidate.

This is all really amazing.

Ok well it wouldn't be criminal, though. There is no law saying that Trump needs to be allowed to use your social network to make public statements.

It's amazing that people support Trump. Yea. I'm never going to stop being amazed by it. But he DOES have a 35% approval rating and it should be a horrible climate for republicans to run in but that doesn't seem to materializing.

You said the seat, and the seat was +20. That does, in fact, matter. Republicans who couldn't hold their nose to vote Trump still voted in his party's rep there.
