There is no upside for Trump attacking fellow Republicans the way that he has done. It is true that overall, Congress is very unpopular, but individual incumbents generally have a substantial majority of Republican support among their constituents. Attacking Ted Cruz, Paul Ryan, and other popular Republicans is just plain stupid because he cannot afford to turn off any more Republican voters than he has already done.

Hillary Clinton is without doubt the worst nominee who has ever run for president as a Democrat and Donald Trump is losing to her by a substantial margin.

What Trump should be saying is that Republicans running for re-election should campaign in a way that gives them the best chance of winning. Then he should add that he looks forward to working with them for the next four years. Instead, he has threatened to create super PACs to defeat Republicans in primaries. Every second that Trump spends attacking other Republicans is a second wasted that could have been spent attacking Hillary.

Same goes for idiot spineless feckless Republicans who are helping Hillary win by attacking and/or abandoning Trump.
