The 2018 GOP strategy
by digby
It's brilliant: Let Donald Trump sell-out the country to mobilize their "patriotic" base:
“Everybody thinks that President Trump is some kind of drag on the Republican Party, [when] in this case, he’s just the essential ingredient,” said Holmes, who’s helped engineer his party’s Senate strategy for the past 16 years as a chief aide to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
“What the president is doing by continuing to discuss the investigation [into allegations of collusion between his campaign and Russia] and the quote-unquote ‘witch hunt,’ particularly on prime time Fox [News], is doing more to mobilize base voters than any legislative issue we’ve seen,” added Holmes.
If Trump decided to open death camps (and he could) they'd all say, "my voters all like death camps so why should I commit political suicide?" Better to commit actual suicide.
