What do DUers think about this from Chris Hayes

[Hugin]

14. I think the shenanigans in CA are for the down ballot candidates.

Even though Chumperdink believes, of course, it's all about him.

Manipulation required to save his pasty buttocks would be monumental and getting a buy-in by the Republican establishment to jump on their swords right now for his benefit is questionable.

CA Republicans took a real stinging in 2018.

They need to re-establish a foothold in CA. It'll be a subtle move in line with the long game. Something, Trump is incapable of even contemplating. He wants it all now and feels he's entitled to it.

That's not to say, if they see an opportunity to push him up they won't. However, from the looks of things, they want to be rid of him. Their overall agenda remains unchanged, though. It was there long before Trump and it'll be there until the Sun burns out.
