Trump privately trashes GOP candidate after his own endorsement fails to boost him

March 9, 2018

.........................................
The Republican in Pennsylvania's special election is dangerously close to losing. So naturally, Trump is attacking him.

The special election for Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District was never supposed to be close race. But even as Trump struggles to prop up Republican candidate Rick Saccone, behind closed doors he is trashing him as a failure.

According to CNN’s Jeremy Diamond and Jake Tapper, Trump has told senior White House officials that Saccone is a weak candidate and a poor fundraiser, and believes that his involvement can only help his struggling campaign.

On the one hand, Republicans do broadly agree that Saccone, an Air Force veteran and state representative, is a worse campaigner than Democratic candidate Conor lamb, a former Marine and federal prosecutor. Saccone has a checkered past that includes voting against protecting puppies from animal abuse and telling a mother that the government has no money to help her opioid-addicted son./........................

Heading to Moon Township, Pennsylvania, to be with a really good person, State Representative Rick Saccone, who is running for Congress. Big & happy crowd (why not, some of the best economic numbers ever). Rick will help me a lot. Also, tough on crime & border. Loves 2nd A & VETS

6. Honestly, reading his yammering in text form afterwards is just a scream, river!

...sometimes a scream of hilarity, often a scream of a pain, but a scream nevertheless...

Oy

Retweet this if you want Democrat Conor Lamb to win his special election on Tuesday. Here’s video of his GOP opponent Rick Saccone screaming like a lunatic: In Pennsylvania we’re still clinging to our guns & our bibles!
