Oh, man the Doom and Gloom from Republican Strategists LOL

Just on MSNBC, a GOP strategist was asked what are downticket R's supposed to do at this point? She said it's absolutely too late to do anything, they are getting sunk with the S.S. Trump and the time to do anything has long passed and should have never happened at the convention. She was then asked is it an "I told you so moment" and she said absolutely.

It's an all out routing of the GOP... and they know it.

Get a taste of their own medicine from handling the oil industry with kid gloves.

I know folks complain about them, and they should be reformed. However, elected officials from the party need to have a say in who gets the nomination for president, as they have to run with that person on the top of the ticket. It's difficult winning a congressional seat when your party's nominee is an embarrassment.

Super Delegates should be comprised of elected Democratic office holders, and no one else.
