According to Politico, the Republican National Committees spring meeting in Coronado is tense affair, following Trumps stunning firing of FBI Director James Comey which caught not only congressional leaders by surprise, but also members of the Trump White House.
Equally alarming are GOP worries that previously solid GOP seats in Montana and Georgia could be lost in special elections before the 2018 midterms a harbinger of the struggles that lie ahead with an unpredictable and increasingly unpopular president at the top of the party.
According to one Republican National Committeeman, Trump has changed the game in ways that are making conventional election wisdom obsolete and incumbents nervous.

If the "conventional wisdom" is that they can always fool a large majority of their voters, let's hope 2018 is when they are finally proven wrong. God knows we understand all too well how they arrived at that arrogance.

(82,849 posts)We've been telling Republicans for years that this bullshit was going to catch up with them. For our trouble, we've been ridiculed, called names, tossed in jail, and gloated over. Well, those chickens are coming home to roost and these fuckers are tense. Too goddam bad. I hope every one of you corrupt fuckers winds up for a stretch in the greybar hotel.
