Ex-Republican insider warns MAGA is in 'fatal position': 'Bloodbath for the GOP'
Rick Wilson, a former Republican operative, warned that MAGA is looking at a "bloodbath" ahead of the midterms.
The co-founder of the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project wrote in his Substack Wednesday that while President Donald Trump says he wants to nationalize the midterm elections — which Wilson said is "much, much worse than it sounds" — the reality is that the president is panicked over "crashing polls," the backlash to ICE and the Epstein files. Wilson called the move to push for nationalized elections "late-stage fascism" and a desperate attempt to direct elections in his favor.
"The latest generic ballot polling is a bloodbath for the GOP," Wilson wrote.
" Fox News, the house organ itself, has Democrats up by six. Marist has it at a staggering +14," Wilson added. "Trump’s approval rating is hovering at a dismal 39%, dragged down by an economy that’s currently choking on the fumes of his 'efficiency' layoffs and a trade war that has turned our allies into enemies and our enemies into laughing spectators."
For Republicans looking to the upcoming elections, the polls have added more anxiety, he argued.
"In off-year and special elections, Donald Trump isn’t on the ballot, and the MAGA GOP suffers greatly," Wilson wrote on Wednesday. "The MAGA candidates running don’t get the same latitude from the voters that Trump enjoys. So if they hate Trump’s policies (and they robustly do), the MAGA GOP is in the fatal position of being his cheer section."
