Republicans fear Trump is hurting their chances. He can't understand why.
(Politico) President Donald Trump believes he handed Republicans a winning playbook for the midterms — if only they'd follow it.
Gerrymander everywhere possible, get rid of the filibuster, fire the Senate parliamentarian and pass the SAVE America Act.
None of it is likely to happen, and the gap between what is likely and what is possible explains Trump's frustrations with many in Congress and the anger the White House channels at operatives and pundits who say the president isn't doing enough to help retain control of Congress.
"If everyone just follows his lead, follows the blueprints he's laid out, and runs on the record that he has, then I think we'll fare well," said a senior White House official, granted anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
