It just occurred to me that GOP senators up for re-election in 2020 are in big trouble. If they dare stand against Trump on anything, his base will primary them out of the senate. On the other hand, if they bow to Trump on everything, they will likely lose the general election. Guess this is what you call a lose-lose.
You are assuming Trump will be on the ballot in 2020.

Depends on the senator’s home state. Deep red, tow the line. Purple, tread cautiously. Blue, open season on the orange menace.It just occurred to me that GOP senators up for re-election in 2020 are in big trouble.

Majority of the Senators endorsed by Trump won their re-election bids... Trump has a record high approval rating in his own party...
What you are saying is illogical.

impeached/resigned you thinking?
Yeah... Muller... Any day now... Right?
I think not seek re-election like LBJ did. Cite age and/or health reasons.
You're referring to the midterm results. I'm looking at the general election in 2020 with a presidential ticket. There will likely be a much higher voter turnout at that time.
Higher turnouts historically are bad for Republicans. Nothing illogical about my observation.
Grand jury was just extended so I think Mueller will go for quite a while. Dems don't really want him out,they would prefer to run against him and use him as a reason for vote the entire democratic ticket.
The way I figure it, come 2020 Trump is going to have more than enough on his own plate without having to worry about "purging" rebels.
I don't give a **** if Trump is on the ballot or not. It's 2020, 100 year anniversary of a woman's right to vote. They're going to be out voting in high numbers.
Right. We all vote based on what happened 100 years ago, not based on what is happening in the Present.

Gardner and Collins, both R’s from blue states, are already beginning to speak out against Trump’s idiotic wall. With the many investigations covering virtually every aspect of Trump’s life and the Dem run house, expect to see more senators of all political persuasions to begin speaking out.Even in a blue state, Trump's base can primary any GOP senator who dares speak against Trump.

Women made history in the 2018 midterm elections.
Democrats won women’s vote for Congress by 19 points, with 59 percent voting Democrat and 40 percent voting Republican — the largest margin seen in midterm exit polls, according to data from CNN.
Grrrr.
I'm going to go all grammar nazi here on you. Apologies in advance, but I see this one a lot.
You do not "tow" a line. You "toe" a line.
