Republicans pan (Hate) Trump’s Orlando response: ‘Saying nothing would have been better’

In a Politico report this morning, several Republicans wasted no time slamming Trump’s response to the Orlando terror attack by fuming that they’re sick of having to answer for all the outlandish things Trump says on a daily basis.


Snip.........


“Saying nothing would have been better,” said a Republican National Committee who wished to remain anonymous. “Every Senate candidate will be forced to answer for Trump’s bizarre response… His lack of empathy is jarring.”

“[Trump] just blows up everything we want to do,” said an anonymous GOP lawmaker. “Every time you turn around, he’s said something new. It’s impossible for us to keep up.”

While these anonymous Republicans gave Politico the juiciest quotes, some of Republicans went on record to more gently chide Trump for his demagoguery.

Tom Rath, a veteran New Hampshire Republican strategist, tells Politico that Trump’s red-meat response to Orlando casts fresh doubts on whether Trump has “the kind of sensitivity or understanding of… a president’s role.”
