'There's absolutely no political gain to be running from Trump,' says one Republican operative. But there's plenty of risk in sticking with him, too.

, a dangerous position for a president. Approval among Republicans was rock solid, at 91 percent, while his rating among independent voters was 33 percent, falling by 10 points since February, before the pandemic.

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, one of the most vulnerable incumbents facing voters this year, declined to say recently whether she plans to vote for Trump, according toSens. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., and Martha McSally, R-Ariz., both rallied with the president this year and heaped praise on him before the pandemic hit.

Even Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., who has spent 3½ years cultivating an image as a stalwart Trump ally, released two ads last week that make no mention of his party or the president. In one spot, he portrays himself as a moderate fighting for police reforms, including body cameras, and making law enforcement"look more like the communities they serve."

Because he’s a little child! Actually he’s worse then a little child! What in the world did we,Americans do,to deserve this monster!Vote against him in November so we all can have some peace or we are going to have Him again! A complete Nut Case ! To me,that’s who he’s become!

A big moral risk. Is your soul worth it.

How short-sighted are these Republicans? Even if Tubby cheats his way to a second term, he will likely not be able to finish it with his poor mental and physical health. If he loses, they will need to run from his legacy.

i should have bought more people

Trump2020NowMoreThanEver

Crash and burn, you SOBs

The GOP's excuse for NOT sticking with Trump is pathetic! And their flimsy ass reason for staying in their symbiotic relationship is why they are going all going down!

sexy manscreem

They should go down with the sinking ship.

What were you saying again about the ProjectLincoln JohnCornyn / TeamCornyn ? You too TomCottonAR / SenTomCotton? SteveSchmidtSES TheRickWilson jwgop RadioFreeTom reedgalen

US politics is all about power and money, it has very little to do with serving the American people.

Pray for President Trump

They are so right. It’s far too late to run. We got you.

President Trump needs to double - TRIPLE DARE Biden to meet him in a LIVE one- on - one debate . DARE him to show up .

Maybe try doing the right thing and being an honorable human?

You'll have 4 more years to try to remove this President. We're getting tired of winning.

Trump Republicans sealed their fate long ago.

The Bush group has never been with Trump since he squashed Jeb . Just politics .

How about being able to look yourself in the mirror everyday?

Mr Trump, you look so presidential when you sit like that!

I am amazed! These people were elected to lead and do the best for their constituents. Yet they are scared to make a move that could cost them an election. Quit worrying about a future election and do your job now that you were elected to do!

Blah blah blah. You can't handle the truth . I have said ego just make a us STUPID. How we even think some of this crap to play it the way we do. Insane and not even funny. Creepy is being kind.

It's friggin great that the whole Republican Party will be going down with Trump in November. They've all had a chance to save themselves, but the chances of doing so are dying by the the day! I think we may be seeing a death of the GOP as it now stands. It will cause a reboot!

I’ll gladly take any risk President Trump may bring because his risk is to better and bring back the true America. Freedom and people have a say. Not pc Nazi tactics.The left would start enacting socialism. There is NOTHING good in that. It’s always doomed to failure.

Just register as democrats or independents, simple.

The political graveyard is full of people who were loyal to idiots.

Dump Trump

FollowMaryTrump let’s make it a trend

The best thing a Republican can do is what most of them are doing right now - ignoring the stupid orange idiot and not answering questions. The problem is that Trump's stupidity is overwhelming.

Republican Party : Save America. Execute amendment 25 to get rid of Trump.

'political gain'🤮 GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPCowards

what did biden do today?

Major political parties making compromises of convenience with fascists usually ends well...

Why would anyone consider being around Trump! Should have known about him way before he stepped into the White House and the city he made a Shit Hole Country out of!

Sinking popularity, his lack of a National Plan is literally killing Americans and infecting millions. GOP is complicit in not having testing and PPE.

Notice that doing the right thing is never a part of the GOP equation.

We remember all of them too. Its not just Trump that’s drowning, it’s the entire GOP. See you all in November✌️

Abandoned ship !!

It’s pretty clear: People need to stop voting for Republicans because they’re literally voting against their own interests.

137,000 dead. Bounties. Pardons for criminal buddies... gassing peaceful protestors, telling Public to inject themselves with Lysol...

Horseshit

They hate him because they can’t control him

There's a lot to gain: people's lives.

Trump rips private Texas border wall built by his supportersPresident Trump criticized a privately built border wall in South Texas that’s showing signs of erosion months after going up, saying it was “only done to make me look bad,” even though the wall was built after a months-long campaign by his supporters. 🤣🤣 Turns out that Trump's base is really anti-Trump. Who would have guessed? Maybe they elected Trump to make him look bad too? I mean, what better way to humiliate Trump than to make him POTUS so that the entire world can see how incompetent and corrupt he is? 😂😂😂, try harder,Tr*mpers. Your leader is not happy.

‘Big mistake’: Barr, White House officials tried to keep Trump from getting involved in Stone's sentencingAG Barr discussed Roger Stone's sentence with Pres. Trump and recommended clemency not be offered, multiple sources say, and other White House officials, including White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, also advised the president against the commutation. It was Barr that recommended RogerStone serve 4 years in prison (compared to 9 years based on sentencing guidelines) TrumpIsANationalDisgrace Probably realDonaldTrump, however harsh the expression, Trump has never had a child who is a victim of sexual violence. In this case, being conniving with the actions of a pedophile pedophile, unable to control his sexual desires, demonstrates his tendency to perversion. Seriously look into BarackObama our president fixed what democrats ruined

Roger Stone Clemency Latest Example Of Trump Rewarding His Friends, Scholars SayOn a single day in February, Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of 11 people — all of whom had one thing in common: either they had an inside connection to him, or their cases were promoted on Fox News. I'm not saying that you have to have committed some kind of fraud or other crime of moral turpitude to get a pardon from Trump... But it doesn't hurt your chances! So if you're white, rich and politically connected you are untouchable. Is this the America where we are all born free or just some of us? Bill Clinton pardons his own brother after drug crime
