Republican Senator: "Does he need to be so unhinged? He says the dumbest things.

“Does he need to be so unhinged? He says the dumbest things,” said one Republican senator who vented frustration with the president’s outbursts on Twitter and in front of the White House press corps.

“Yeah, there needs to be a coordinated response to everything. There needs to be a coordinated effort to just shut up,” the senator said.

GOP lawmakers say that President Trump and his political team need to overhaul their strategy to regain momentum and prevent their party from losing the White House and a number of congressional seats next fall.

They say the White House’s efforts so far no only could limit Trump to one term, but could spell doom for vulnerable Senate GOP incumbents such as Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Martha McSally (Ariz.), Cory Gardner (Colo.), Joni Ernst (Iowa) and Thom Tillis (N.C.).

It never ceases to amaze me how upfront pols are about telling us just how invested they are in coming up with PR bullshit rather than telling the truth.

done and supported will forever tarnish them as being corrupt and undeserving of anyone's support in the future. All that remains is just how much they get beat in the upcoming 2020 and 2022 elections...I suspect that they will get stomped and stomped big time.
