@kausmickey @politico good Q a lot of moving parts here. I’m going with massive reality overload reaction. Check back in a week.
@kausmickey @politico it’s going to be a shock if they can absorb the idea that Trump is a deal maker meaning they can make deals.
@kausmickey @politico they could learn about making deals but it’s scary to learn something new like the first day of high school.
@kausmickey no
@kausmickey Some maybe. More likely it’s fear the Donor/K-Street/Capitol Hill apple cart might get disturbed. It’s usually abt the ka-ching.
@kausmickey @politico how hard do you think Obama is laughing?
@kausmickey No, they are afraid Trump will force them to abandon their pharmaceutical, hedge & foreign friends and actually serve the USA
@kausmickey @politico This argument falls apart upon close interrogation
@kausmickey they are worried that non-trump supporting republicans will just stay home..
@kausmickey @JohnRiversToo @politico they are afraid donor class will stop giving money
@kausmickey If the RNC is nice they might be able to get Trump to say vote Republicans in to help President Trump.
Just speaking generically, wouldn’t that depend on which of the downballot pols on either side oppose or support him on key issues? Also don’t forget gerrymandering.
@kausmickey very possible
@kausmickey @politico since he has won most handily in states with open primaries doesnt seem to far fetched
@kausmickey can’t wait to screenshot your tweets abt how successful Trump is going to be in Nov, if he wins nom, can’t wait to shame you
@kausmickey Not if they embrace @realDonaldTrump
@kausmickey I’m tempted to say “Who cares?” as Congress has lower approval ratings than both dysentery and Ebola, but you may be correct.
@kausmickey @politico so mods and GOP who vote for Trump are going to vote for Dems downballot?
