Listening to MSNBC, Repub Lawmaker exposes Outright Panic of GOP on Trump's "Rigged Election" claims

The lawmaker expressed that the party in no way agrees with Trump's claims on the rigged election and that the only thing Trump is accomplishing is by encouraging his supporters (and Republicans in general) not to vote. That is, why should they vote if the election is rigged anyways? He said they are seeing lack of enthusiasm on down-ticket candidates as a result.

Sounds like Pandora's box is open, and the Trump monster is wreaking havoc in the GOP, killing the chances of wins on down-ticket candidates. This is why states like AZ, GA and NV are now viable and why the DNC is taking every advantage to go into these states...

While Trump might be banking on losing, the GOP party isn't and Trump is dragging them down (purposely?) with him.

I don't have enough , may need to head to Costco to get the industrial size package.

now that he knows he can't be the greatest winner, he's aiming for becoming the greatest loser.
