Lucas, Donald Trump is bad news for the GOP. But just how bad?
Trump's overt racism and misogyny are obviously problems for Republicans
in the race for the White House, but there's more than a presidential
election happening this year. As many as ten GOP Senate seats could be
at risk this fall, as Republicans racked up big wins in 2010 by riding
the Tea Party wave and now have to defend seats in blue states in a presidential
election year.
But could Trump pose a risk to the GOP that goes beyond the Senate? Could
he be so spectacularly awful a candidate that he puts the Republicans'
seemingly-indestructible House majority at risk? And what about races
for governor? Or even state legislatures, where Republicans hold more
seats now than they have since the 1920s?
If you get your elections news from cable TV, you're never going to
hear about these races—all you'll hear about is Donald Trump's
taco bowl.
