"Well, whatda we do now, Mitch!"
The Republicans are stuck between a rock and hard place...up the old shit creek without a paddle.
They are all looking for one shred of good news from the Virginia race last night. They are having difficulty finding anything positive from the defeat of Ed Gillespie?? He lost by a huge margin.
Ol' Ed thought he could ride the fence and win all the Republican voters. He would agree with Trump on Confederate statues and immigration and guns, and otherwise, he would remain the moderate Republican that everyone thought him to be.
It didn't work. He got his butt kicked up between his shoulder blades. But, he was not alone. Republicans lost across the spectrum. They lost to transsexuals, Sikhs, and black women.
Now, they are trying to figure out what they do next?
It is a dilemma of their own making. If they support Trump, they are guaranteed the vote of their base. But, not much more. His "unfavorables" are close to 60%.
If they try to ride the fence, they lose much of the base.
If they totally split from Trump and Trumpism, they stand to lose all the base.
None of those is a favorable option.
What will be their strategy?

I was thinking about posting about "Who got their ass kicked worse?" thread earlier today
...and fail spectacularly at it!
