R strategy for the midterms: Me like orange man?

Jackie Allemany on MSNOW just had a story in which she quoted R politicians as writing off trump's statement about loving the inflation and other "gaffes" as just trump being trump. They do not expect him to stay on message. The focus is not on what he says but just that he's out there campaigning.

So basically, if trump is "out there" it doesn't matter what he says or does. Because he's so cool and they just want to breathe the same air as him.

I don't know about you guys, but I think they should go with that. Tie yourself to him until you can't escape and endorse everything he says until the midterms.

”I love the inflation“

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation, I don’t think about anybody”

“Not possible to fund daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all those things because the country is fighting a war”

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again “ (Iran)

Trump said rising gas prices were “peanuts”

Trump referred to women/black women as dog, pig, ugly pig, piggy, fat pig, disgusting animals, slob, fat slob, face of a dog, lowlife, lying lowlife, low IQ, nasty, horseface, dumb, idiot, crazy, stupid…

We must hang Trump around the necks of every Republican running for election/reelection in the midterms…let them die with their heads up Trump’s diapered psychotic ass..
