My interest in this is to gauge the fallout on the Congressional races. Right now it seems pretty obvious that the Dem/MSM is to get as many Republicans defending Trump as possible. Then, release a bunch of tapes and pictures linking Trump to all kinds of heinous shit (feel free to troll the liberal internet sewers for the latest rumors on future tapes). Once that is done, Dems will then point to every Republican who shook Trump's hand and label them as defenders of all Trump's transgressions.
Now, I know that many around here are thinking that this past week's events will not effect Trump's candidacy. Personally, I could care much less. What I care about is the fact that, for some strange reason, Republican congressional candidates across the board are polling an average 4 points lower this week compared to last in snap polling since the tapes release and Trump's dust up with GOP leadership. Trump's shit is now needless putting both the House and Senate in play and there is a growing chance that we will have razor thin majorities or much worse.
