https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/gop-strategist-warns-major-republican-midterms-losses-due-trumps-bullying-nastiness-tweeting/
Unaffiliated and independent voters, according to a veteran Republican strategist that spoke to Roll Call, may pose more danger in 2018 than they have in previous years as well.
Theyre tired of the drama, the strategist said.
Another longtime Republican campaign operative told Roll Call that anti-Trump sentiment among women is soon to come back to haunt the Grand Old Party.
We knew single women hated [the Republican Party], the GOP operative said. We couldnt do anything about that. But married women were different. We figured out how to deal with them by talking about pocketbook issues. But now college-educated women hate us. Even with the current economy. Its the bullying, the nastiness, the tweeting. Its all about Trumps behavior.

President Trump's son Eric is responding to those biting Saturday Night Live skits that portray him as an imbecile. The running gag on the show has Eric alongside his older brother Don Jr., trying to mimic his movements and mannerisms. Eric is actually a graduate of Georgetown University. He told the Washington Post, "Unfortunately, it is the price one pays for being in a political family. They got it wrong. They detest us and they will do anything to try and undermine our credibility."

A Washington Post report on Tuesday claimed that the Trump White House has been trying to recruit Theodore B. Olson, described as a star Republican lawyer, to help defend President Donald Trump in special counsel Robert Muellers probe.
However, just hours after the report was published, it looks as though Olson has rejected the White Houses overtures.
Ted Boutrous a partner at Olsons law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher sent out a tweet on Tuesday shooting down any notion that Olson would be leaving to work with the White House.

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/trumps-favorite-pollster-finds-many-voters-dont-want-campaigning-district/
Rasmussen Reports, the Republican-friendly pollster that is frequently cited by President Donald Trump, has found that a plurality of voters think Trump would hurt local candidates by campaigning for them in their districts.
According to the pollster, 40 percent of likely voters think Trump campaigning in their district would hurt the candidate hes trying to help, while just 28 percent said it would help the candidate. 21 percent of likely voters, meanwhile, said his presence in their districts would have no impact.
Although Rasmussen does not break down these numbers by party affiliation for non-subscribers, it does say that while most Republicans plan to vote for a member of Congress who supports President Trumps agenda they have reservations when it comes to the president joining candidates on the campaign trail.
Earlier this month, Trump campaigned for Republican Rick Saccone, a congressional candidate in Pennsylvanias 18th congressional district. Despite the fact that Trump had won the district by 20 points in 2016, his presence was not enough to drag Saccone over the finish line, as he narrowly lost the race to Democratic challenger Conor Lamb.
