19 Aug 2017 at 16:27 ET
Republicans in Washington are exhausted and in despair after President Donald Trumps gross mishandling of the administrations response to white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, calling it a f*cking disaster and worrying that Trump has done permanent damage to the party.
<snip>
While some on the right are holding out hope that the ouster of White House chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon will help the president shore up some of the self-inflicted damage hes done to his presidency, many Republicans dont think it will make any difference.
I dont think it does, said former RNC communications director Doug Heye. Nobody makes their decision about who to support based on the staff in the White House.
A parade of politicians and CEOs have publicly scorned Pres. Trump in recent days, and longtime Republican operatives are watching their careful work cultivating black and Hispanic voters go up in smoke.
Its terribly frustrating, said Heye. In Charlottesville, we are talking about neo-Nazis chanting truly vile things. To see the president come out the way he did its impossible for me to try to convince an African-American, or Hispanic, or Jewish voter why they should vote Republican.
He concluded, What theyre hearing is: We dont like you.
