Conservative writer: GOP will get 2018 electoral thrashing if Trump clown show is still in office
http://www.rawstory.com/2017/05/conservative-writer-gop-will-get-2018-electoral-thrashing-if-trump-clown-show-is-still-in-office/
Washington Post conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin said on Fridays edition of Hardball on MSNBC that if President Donald Trumps clown show presidency is still around in November of 2018, the administration will prove to be a huge electoral liability for the Republican Party.
Rubin wrote about Trumps Saturday morning tweets attacking ex-FBI Director James Comey and she demanded to know how long Republicans are going to be silent in the face of Trumps lawless behavior.
They may wait until 2018, Rubin said, and I think theyre going to get quite a thrashing. Usually the party that has the White House loses seats, but if this is the clown show thats going on then, theyre going to lose a whole bunch of seats.
Rubin has been critical of Trump since early in the 2016 race. Shortly after the inauguration when the president was blowing his top about media coverage of his inaugural crowds, Rubin wondered whether Trump is even sane enough to know that hes lying.

National security reasons, of course.

Jennifer Rubin, as a member of the reality-based community, is the fringe of the party now.
