Trump privately tells donors it would be 'very tough' for GOP to hold Senate

President Trump privately told donors this past week that it will be “very tough” for Republicans to keep control of the Senate in the upcoming election because some of the party’s senators are candidates he cannot support.

“I think the Senate is tough actually. The Senate is very tough,” Trump said at a fundraiser Thursday at the Nashville Marriott, according to an attendee. “There are a couple senators I can’t really get involved in. I just can’t do it. You lose your soul if you do. I can’t help some of them. I don’t want to help some of them.”

The attendee shared the president’s words on the condition of anonymity as the event was a closed-door gathering. It was held before the last presidential debate between Trump and Democrat Joe Biden.

The president — in a sentiment not shared by many of his party’s top officials and strategists — said he instead thinks the Republicans “are going to take back the House.” And many strategists involved in Senate races say the party’s chances at keeping the chamber are undermined by the president’s unscripted, divisive rhetoric and his low poll numbers in key states.

Why would Trump say that? Is it because he is telling donors to stop donating to Senate Republicans and to give Trump all the money?

1. Yep.

"Please don't give those losers any more money, just give it all to me instead."

2. That WaPo headline is misleading.

He didn't say that the GOP will lose the Senate because he's privately a realist about his party's chances. He's saying that some Senate Republicans weren't loyal enough to him, so he's not willing to use his magic to save them. He's still delusional - as evidenced by his prediction that they will take back the House.

9. That's funny. Trump actually thinks he has a soul to lose!

“There are a couple senators I can’t really get involved in. I just can’t do it. You lose your soul if you do. I can’t help some of them. I don’t want to help some of them.”

Donnie, they don't want your "help". You kill everything and everyone you touch. They fear for their lives. Now go away. GO FAR, FAR AWAY!
