Donalds has been hot-MAGA and now ... must have been given a poll that is not-good news for him and terrible news for Trump.

Murder people in the street? That's okay, but price of gas? Who-hoo.

Never, ever trust anyone associated with this regime.

Trump gave a performance yesterday that showed just how lost he is within his decline, he should not be representing America, but who thinks Hegseth or JD would be able to stop him from some insane action, like assassinating foreign leaders or dropping nukes on some island?

Hey there, Byron DONALD: there are plenty of pix with you sporting a MAGA tie, wearing MAGA merch, and acting the Steppin Fetchit around Der Dotard. Florida voters will be reminded of such on a daily basis between now and the election. It was nice knowing you...

The RNC gave permission for Republicans to distance themselves ... if they need to.

GOP/MAGA candidates facing tough reelection bids are all reading from the same script.

I would imagine there were democrats who had to run away some from Clinton and Obama at the same mid-term election in their final terms.

GWB as well.

In states solidly associated with their own party's incumbent, e.g. Byron Donalds running away from Donald Trump faster than a terrified jackrabbit?

Byron's fake opposition to Data Farms is not working since it was revealed he is funded by the Data farm industry and now Trump has opened his stupid mouth and opposition to Data Farms is strong across party lines while Trump is out of step with many Florida Republicans.
