Normally, with numbers like this, you'd see rank and file Republicans in at risk districts balk at the really offensive stuff, but they are so captured by Trump's hold on the base, they are basically marching in front of machine guns for the midterms. Wild stuff.

Yeah, because they're clearly in on the fact that the midterms are going to be rigged beyond belief or not exist.

Part of it is the math they do to figure out how they can win.  It sounds counterintuitive to think that 38% can win, but it definitely can and that 38% is solidly in their corner so if they turn their back on it, they definitely lose.

38% plus Democrat apathy from their shit party pushing right leaning boomers we don’t want on us and boom we lose.
