I think highly of Vanity Fair’s Gabe Sherman, but his latest piece with the information that Moscow MItch is giving Trump until Labor Day to turn things around or he is on his own is complete and utter bullshit.
Nervous Republicans worried about losing the Senate are now debating when to break from Trump. Trump campaign internal polls show Trump’s level of “strong support” dropping from 21 to 17 points since last week, a person briefed on the numbers said. A source close to Iowa Republican Joni Ernst’s campaign said Ernst advisers are upset that a solid seat is now in play. “Joni’s campaign is pissed. They should not be in a competitive race,” the source said. (“This is completely false,” an Ernst campaign spokesperson said in a statement. “Folks are energized about re-electing Joni Ernst, President Trump and the rest of Republican ballot in Iowa this November.”) A Republican strategist close to Mitch McConnell told me that Republicans have Labor Day penciled in as the deadline for Trump to have turned things around. After that, he’s on his own.
What does that exactly mean? And what it is worth coming out of the most evil man next to Donald Trump? And you know this leaked from Moscow Mitch. No way would his name get mentioned in this article without his approval. Absolutely nothing is what this leak is worth.
Let’s set aside that this self serving bit of bullshit is coming from Moscow Mitch. Republicans made a deal with the Devil when it comes to Trump. They have protected him and done his bidding for three and a half years, and their donors and themselves got tax cuts, deregulations of businesses, and lots of whacked out young judges on the bench. And they got to keep power.
However, Republicans were offered many off ramps from the Highway to Hell, and they ignored all of them. The last big one was the impeachment vote. Only Mitt Romney decided to get off on a Rest Area. The rest kept speeding along that highway.
