Very sobering analysis. Although Trump’s influence seems to be flagging, he still casts a toxic pall. In nearly every state, the optimal Republican candidate for Senate would need to hold onto a sizable chunk of Trump’s base and yet display enough civility to pick up votes from the Never-Trump wing. The problem is that merely being unTrumpy is enough to alienate some Trumpers.
