Here comes the GOP bloodbath
By Erick Erickson May 19 at 8:33 PM
.....
The president exudes incompetence and instability. Divulging classified information to the Russians through bragging; undermining his staff’s defense of his conduct through inane tweets; even reportedly asking the FBI director to suspend an investigation of a former adviser — all these strike me not so much as malicious but as the ignorant actions of an overwhelmed man. Republicans excuse this behavior as Trump being Trump, but that will only embolden voters who seek greater accountability to choose further change over stability.

The sad reality is that the greatest defense of the president available at this point is one his team could never give on the record: He is an idiot who does not know any better. 

It is becoming ever clearer that Trump has the potential to cause more damage to the Republican Party than Obama did the Democrats. While there is no doubt the Democrats saw serious electoral setbacks under Obama, there remains a key difference here: Obama is deeply respected and liked by a majority of voters.

Trump is increasingly disliked, and the Republicans who enable him are increasingly distrusted.
