Delusional Trump is bragging these days that he’ll save vulnerable GOP candidates in November. But in the real world, some of the candidates he has endorsed have already crashed and burned in states that should be competitive.

A prime example of that is Corey Stewart, the Trump-endorsed Republican nominee in the Virginia race for U.S. Senate. His white nationalist campaign may end up setting a new mark for election year futility, according to a new poll released on Wednesday.

The Republican nominee trailing Democratic incumbent Tim Kaine by a whopping 23 points to in a state that not very long ago regularly voted Republican. Worse, Stewart is polling at a staggeringly low 26 percent in a statewide race that features two major party candidates, as well one libertarian.

One-third of self-described Republicans or Republican-leaning voters in the poll are not yet backing Stewart, a staunch Trump loyalist.

Back in June, the Stewart campaign bragged about Trump’s endorsement, which arrived via Twitter.

1. Very telling how Trump endorsed a guy who called a no-shit white supremacist his hero

If you tried to imagine a GOPher parody that would destroy the GOP brand, you'd have a hard time imagining a better one than Trump.

2. The base will "come home" he'll get around 40%

Same thing happened when nutjob E. W. Jackson ran for Lt. Gov. in 2013. He got 44.5% of the vote and he is (gasp) black. GOTV!

3. 26% openly support a Nazi

There's Trump's core base, right there.
