Republicans Beg Trump To Stop Being Such A Bad Candidate

Current and former Republican officials are now begging Donald Trump to fix his campaign before he sinks the entire Republican Party. That’s not a small ask, especially considering the fact that Trump becomes increasingly unhinged as he continues to sink in the polls. Trump is his own worst enemy, and there’s virtually no way to get him to stop being who he is, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

Republicans across Washington DC and of course across the country itself, have now taken to having to beg Donald Trump to please for the love of God stick to the issues on the campaign trail. Something that I have said repeatedly for the last two weeks would be even worse than whatever the hell it is Donald Trump is doing right now. But let me read you some quotes from some DC insiders who think that Donald Trump is just a few talking points away from writing his sinking ship. The issues, the top issues of voters are squarely in his favor said one former Trump White House official according to the hill. Can they stay focused on that in these final 90 days? That's going to be the key, because I think when it comes to the issues that matter, immigration, the economy, et cetera, are hands down the biggest issues. And those favor, Trump, the unnamed official said, I would encourage this unnamed official to actually look at the effing polls because no, they don't see Republicans are relying on data at this point that is now like two and three weeks old, and they're not paying attention to the new data that's coming out.

Polls for the last week now have shown that Kamala Harris is now the number one candidate that voters trust to handle the issue of the economy and her numbers on immigration continue to get better, to the point where her and Trump are almost in a statistical dead heat. So no, Trump is not favored. Really, again, when you factor in the margin of error on any issue, Harris beats him on the issues. So stop saying that, oh, if he just talks about the issues, he's gonna win. No, he's not. He's gonna do worse if he has to talk intelligibly about things. Then you had Brendan Buck, former aide to former speaker Paul Ryan who said quote, it's not that he's not talking about the economy, it's not that he's not talking about the border, it's that he's talking about all these other crazy things as well that distract you.

Yeah, yeah. That's the problem, right? Kevin McCarthy, he said, you've gotta make this race not on personality. Stop questioning the size of her crowds and start questioning her position when it comes to what she did do as Attorney General on crime, questioning what she did do when she was supposed to take care of the border as a border czar. Um, okay, what did she do at the border? Well, we had a record number of apprehensions record numbers of drug seized at the borders that didn't make it onto the streets of America. So, sure, let's talk about a record, because once again, that's another thing that is not going to work out in your favor because Republicans don't pay attention or they do pay attention, but they think the voters are stupid. So yeah, good luck with that. GOP pollster, Frank Luntz said quote, if it's about issues, Trump is much more likely to be successful if it's about attributes, Harris is much more likely to be successful because quite frankly, people like her more than they like him. Well, he's right about the

Likability thing, but as per usual wrong about the issue thing, you wanna talk about where Trump stands on the issues. Let's talk about where Trump stands on the issues. He only really has two. Okay? His first one is mass deportations. The moment he gets sworn in as president, they said they wanna deport millions of people immediately. A group of 16 Nobel Prize winners are already warning us that that would immediately send this country into a possible depression. Nobel Prize winning economists say that if we get rid of millions of people in this country, deport them out of here, our economy will come crashing down instantaneously, and it will. The United States economy cannot function without migrants.
