Hume: ‘Worrisome’ that the Races Were Badly Affected By Donald Trump

‘You look at the unpopularity and you know you may be dragging a big heavy weight into the 2018 midterms’

RUSH EXCERPT:
HUME: "To the extent that Donald Trump’s unpopularity in Virginia, which was pretty strong, his approval rating was not the worst it is anymore, but he was way underwater in Virginia, down in the 40s I guess, and nationally he’s down in the high 30s according to most of the polls. That’s what has to worry you going into next year. You’ve got an unpopular president, unpopular presidents are always a drag on the incoming party ticket in the midterm election. That’s likely to be true next year. Many people say, and polls ask these questions about the things he is poor, the agenda he is for. The agenda items do better than he does. You look into the next year and you won’t for example that they can get tax reform and tax cut past. He hoped they may be able to recover in some measure on ObamaCare if you are a Republican, but you worry about the fact that legislative sleep there has not been a lot of big, big achievements. There have been a lot of — not the kinds of things that catch voters eyes necessarily. You look at the unpopularity and you know you may be dragging a big heavy weight into the 2018 midterms with control of both houses and Senate at stake. It’s worrisome that the extent that this race looks like it was badly affected from the Republican standpoint by Donald Trump. You would be worried about that."
