Trump says election will be seen as referendum on him
WASHINGTON President Donald Trump implored his supporters to vote on Tuesday, saying the media will treat the midterm results as a referendum on his presidency.
"Even though I'm not on the ballot, in a certain way I am on the ballot," Trump said during a tele-town hall organized by his re-election campaign Monday to encourage Republicans to get out and vote. "The press is very much considering it a referendum on me and us as a movement."
The comments came as Trump prepared for a final, three-state rally blitz as he tries to keep Congress in Republican control and stave off losses that could profoundly change his presidency. Trump's closing argument has largely focused on fear warning, with no evidence, that a Democratic takeover would throw the country into chaos, spurring an influx of illegal immigration and a wave of crime.
And on Monday, he made the case that if Democrats win, they will work to roll back everything he's tried to accomplish. "It's all fragile," he said on the call.

Though I tend to agree my question is why this ego maniac thinks he's helping anyone by making the election about himself. How's a 40% or so approval rating helping any Republican?
