Hanging Trump Around Every Republican Neck

National Journal looks at how Democrats in downballot races are tying their Republican opponents to Donald Trump.

“The at­tacks are, in part, a re­sponse to grow­ing evid­ence that many voters view Trump as something of a polit­ic­al an­om­aly, who is mean­ing­fully dif­fer­ent even from Re­pub­lic­ans who will sup­port him. To fully be­ne­fit from a po­ten­tial anti-Trump wave, Demo­crats will have to per­suade voters that the same char­ac­ter­ist­ics they dis­like in Trump can be found in loc­al Re­pub­lic­ans.”

real substance in these Campaigns. Horse Collar these Rethugs with Trump and not just certain ones,nail every and all of these folks. Remember working campaigns years ago,and we got Horse Collared with Willie Horton,and Mondale and his failure,as well as other garbage which had zero business in any of our Campaigns. The Rethugs are masters at the Negative Campaign,but this time we have the payback and Karma is truly a __________.

In '94, Gingrich and the GOP ran ads against Democrats in which the candidate morphed into Bill Clinton to make the point that voting for the Dem was voting for Bill Clinton.

The DCCC and DSCC should do the same to the Republicans and Trump.
