They're in a really, really tough spot, David, because the Republican Party has epoxied itself to Donald Trump.
I mean, the number one thing about being in the Republican Party today is that you don't represent your state or a district.
You represent Trump if you're in Washington.
If you're a congressman or a member of the Senate, you represent Trump.
And so the way they get through these crazy Republican primaries is to say, I'm the Trumpiest of the Trump guys.
I'm super Trumpy.
I'm the most Trump guy ever to be among the Trump guys.
The problem is, as you pointed out correctly, Trump is a failure at so many things now, and the polling has just weighed down on these Republican candidates.
He is underwater by nearly 50 points on inflation and prices.
He's underwater by 35 points on the economy.
He's even underwater about 15 points on immigration, which used to be the core of the Republican thing, right?
The problem for them is,
If they say, listen, we tried it, but Trump has blown it.
I can't support him anymore.
I'm going to do my thing.
They know that he'll come after them.
Even if they're out of their primary, he'll hurt them in some way.
And if they don't say that, the voters are going to make the correct decision.
They're going to say, this guy's just another guy who cares about Trump and not about us.
And we're seeing this in all these Republican swing seats out there where, you know, in districts where Kamala or Joe Biden won, these Republican candidates are trying to have it both ways.
