Republicans panicking about down-ballot bloodbath

They know they’ve lost the presidency, and they fear what will happen in down-ballot races because of Trump.

With Trump trailing in the polls, the question of the hour is what effect his lack of support might have on other GOP candidates on the ballot. Polls show incumbent Senator Pat Toomey clinging to a narrow lead over Democratic challenger Katie McGinty in the country’s most expensive Senate race.

If disenchanted Republicans fail to show up at the polls on Nov. 8 — or worse, vote for Hillary Clinton and her accompanying Democratic slate — the GOP could lose its US Senate majority. Democrats would need to gain four or five of the 34 Senate seats up for grabs, and prognosticators say they have better than even odds of accomplishing this as Trump’s fortunes tumble.

Trump has fallen more than six points behind Clinton in Pennsylvania — and is 28 points behind in the Philadelphia suburbs, according to a new Bloomberg poll — creating a whirlpool that could swallow the Republican senator.

    Such a lovely bloodbath, purging the vermin from our midst.

    I would refer to this as Arlen Specter’s revenge in Toomey’s case.
