3. Dan Pfeiffer email on Trump bullying and retaliating will put Republican candidates in jeopardy

Everyone Thinks Trump Won Last Night. They're WrongTrump's revenge tour just made the GOP's midterm problem a whole lot worse."

Trump is a massive drag on his party, and to win, many Republicans will need to show some independence from the deeply unpopular President.

Trump won’t let them do that. Cross him, and he could turn on you. It’s too late for Trump to run a primary challenge against someone now, but he could attack them on social media, depressing turnout among the MAGA base, or cut off funding from his array of well-heeled Super PACs.

We are seeing this dynamic play out in the Senate, where Trump is trying to force Republicans to take the politically suicidal step of spending upwards of a billion taxpayer dollars on his asinine ballroom vanity project.

A smarter, savvier, less megalomaniacal leader would give his party the room to do what they need to win.
