They are running SO scared...
I live in northern Illinois. Repugnant Representative Bob Dold has been recently flooding the cable channels with an ad claiming he is "an INDEPENDENT voice." Laughable. His opponent, our candidate Brad Schneider, is running bright ads criticizing "Dold and the Republicans" with images of prominent Democrats and best of all, kids sliding by with "LOVE trumps HATE" signs.
Just now I received the slickest 8.5 x 11 inch 4-page full-color brochure pushing Dan McConchie for State Senate with phrases like "One person can make a difference..." but not one mention of the word "Republican" in four pages of splashy text. So I put on my reading glasses and, lo and behold, up in the corner of the return address in the tiniest print legally possible it says, "Paid for by the Illinois Republican Party."
Not only are these repugnant office holders afraid of acknowledging tRump, but they are afraid of the word "Republican." As they should be.
Yes, this is just anecdotal, but I'm delighted to see that repugs are running from their party as fast as they are running from their presidential candidate. I wonder if this is true elsewhere.

Senator Portman in Ohio...across the aisle my ass! 
Political signs and ads that don't say "Republican" or even have an "R" on them.
At most, they will say GOP, and often not even that.
This is a blue state (WA), sure, but like most of them there are rosy red areas all around in the exurbs and rural areas. Took a little road trim last week and saw a disturbing number of Trump signs, big ones. Somebody ran off and bought some 3'x5' looking signs and posted them along the main highway. They were on private property, so I have to assume the occupants were supporters.
