Damon Linker, in an article in The Week, states that Republicans might experience a big belly-flop in November. Not because the 24 percent of people who are Republicans still adore Trump/Pence, but because there are so many people who, more than usual in the midterms, are so opposed to the Republican leadership. He states that it is too early to tell, but the lead-up to the elections is pointing that way.
"Over and over again, at all of these levels, Democrats have outperformed
expectations, often winning in districts that in recent election cycles
have strongly favored Republicans. That's because Democrats are
energized, highly motivated to push back hard against the president and
what the GOP has become since Trump stormed the stage during the 2016
Republican primaries."
In the Republican quest to keep our hierarchies strong, we can hope that their lack of flexibility and commitment to what they hold most dear, will sink them sooner rather than later.
