ICYMI: Guest on Diane Rehm Show Calls Support for Trump “Litmus Test of Character”
Concord, N.H. -- Guests on the Diane Rehm Show yesterday were discussing the impact of Donald Trump’s nomination on Republican Senators’ re-election when National Journal’s political editor Josh Kraushaar highlighted that supporting Trump for President is “not just as an ideological issue; it’s a character issue,” and that it can “make a decisive difference in close Senate races,” like Kelly Ayotte’s.
Please see below for a transcript of this segment, or listen to it online HERE<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=c0a3b6ceef&e=aac58c81e5>.
So, the big difference between this election and past elections when you had a Republican or Democratic presidential candidate running far behind is that Donald Trump has become a litmus test of character, it’s not just as an ideological issue; it’s a character issue. And there are some Republicans that when they look at their Senator as supporting Donald Trump, even though it’s a minority of Republicans, they’ll really view them with a certain negative – view them with in a different fashion than they did beforehand. It’s interesting, the republican voters are much more united than the republican elites in Washington in how they view Donald Trump. But even if republicans lose 15 to 20 percent of their base, of the supporters that usually vote for republican Senate candidates, if they don’t show up at the polls in November, it can make a decisive difference in close Senate races.
