The Millstone

Politico published an article yesterday (link here) about how, in an unprecedented move, Donald Trump's 2020 re-election campaign and the party's overall campaign would be merged into one unit.

This means that a primary challenge to Trump from within the Republican Party is all but doomed to fail. But at the same time, it also puts the Trump millstone around the GOP. A deeply unpopular President mired in an unprecedented number of scandals and criminal investigations is made one with the entire Republican Party.

This could prove disastrous for Republicans at the polls in 2020, not unlike what happened in many parts of the country during the 2018 midterms. The party has tied the Trump millstone around its neck and is eager to jump in the pond. It couldn't happen to a more deserving group of people.
