Ex-GOP Strategist Warns Republicans That Trump Will Cost Them | EUROtoday

Former Republican strategist Stuart Stevens is warning the GOP that President Donald Trump is costing the occasion a core voting demographic within the run-up to this 12 months’s midterm elections.

“Just look at independent voters,” he mentioned Sunday on MS NOW, saying they’re now “in some way” the nation’s third occasion.

“And Trump and Republicans are getting killed with independent voters,” he mentioned, noting that the issue is very obtrusive once you take away MAGA voters from polls and take a look at what’s left.

“Trump has incredibly low numbers with independents, and there’s nothing they’re doing that’s going to try to change that,” mentioned Stevens, who was chief strategist for Mitt Romney’s failed 2012 presidential bid.

Stevens, who’s a part of the “never Trump” Republican group the Lincoln Project, identified earlier within the dialogue that usually a candidate can apologize or admit to errors and promise to make modifications.

“And that’s just almost impossible for any Republican to do because Trump will call you out,” he mentioned.

The president’s technique, he mentioned, is to strive nearly the whole lot else.

“And that’s why you have all this stuff like we’re going to go to Venezuela and let’s go to, y’know, we’ll go to Iran … we’re gonna attack protesters in Minneapolis, but we’re gonna help protesters in Iran,” he mentioned. “It’s just sort of flailing around.”
