The HillFor months, Republicans and Democrats alike have confidently predicted that former Vice President Joe Bidens lead in national and battleground state polls would tighten.
But after a new string of jarring numbers, some Republicans are beginning to fear that voters hesitant to say they will back Trump are not coming home and that the few remaining undecided voters are breaking decidedly against him and the Republican Party as a whole.
The conventional wisdom among Republican strategists and pollsters was that a natural tightening tends to occur post-Labor Day, said Ken Spain, a longtime Republican strategist. The events over the course of the last few days have thrown that into chaos.

Meantime, I will enjoy the ritual decennial cleansing at your expense.

I know they live in a bubble, but they HAVE to be aware of the Trump Effect. Everything he touches turns to shit, including, now, the entire Republican Party.

Republicans can take their "concern" and shove it up their arses. They bet on a losing horse and it took them this long to realize the error of their ways?? Stupid is as stupid does. I hope they all go down flailing.
