A tag team partner for Trump?

by Tom Sullivan

Should Reince Priebus' apoplexy over Donald Trump turn into a cage match pitting the Republican presidential candidate against the rest of his party, former WrestleMania star Trump may need a tag team partner. This guy sounds perfect:

Current WWE wrestler Rhyno won Tuesday’s Republican primary for a seat in the Michigan House of Representatives, beating his closest competitor by just 54 votes.

Terrance "Rhyno" Gerin may first have to get by his Democratic opponent. Health care consultant Abdullah Hammoud won his House District 15 primary in a landslide in a six-way race after anonymous robocalls attacked his identity.

In Michigan House District 53 (Ann Arbor), Washtenaw County Commissioner Yousef Rabhi won his primary by a "huge margin." Both Hammoud and Rabhi are expected to win in districts favoring Democrats.

Neither of these races says much about Trump's run for president on anti-Muslim rhetoric after attacking the family of a fallen American Muslin soldier. But the notion that he will get much traction among struggling workers in the American Rust Belt was called into question by recent Michigan polling that shows Hillary Clinton with a 9-point lead there:

The poll contains many troubling signs for Trump’s White House campaign, including a “shocking” lead for Clinton in the Republican strongholds of west and southwest Michigan, pollster Richard Czuba said.

Sixty-one percent of likely general election voters said Trump is ill-prepared to be the nation’s commander-in-chief. The figure grows to 67 percent among women, a group with whom Trump performs poorly. Clinton has a commanding 21-percentage-point lead among female voters.

“He’s sitting in the cellar right now, and they’re going to have to do something to dramatically turn this around,” said Czuba, president of the Glengariff Group Inc. polling firm. “If I were a Republican running on this ticket right now, I’d be beyond nervous.”

Maybe an intervention? Good luck with that.
