Chris Murphy: Trump’s ‘Demeanor’ and ‘Policies’ Are Hurting Him and the Party

‘It’s not lost on these suburban constituents that the president is talking about taking away the protections for people with preexisting conditions’

RUSH EXCERPT:
MURPHY: "Well, in Connecticut we had a tidal wave as well. We picked up a net 16 towns that moved from Republican control to democratic control in exactly the communities that you talked about. It was the suburbs of Hartford and New Haven that had been run by Republicans that are now run by Democrats. Two reasons. One, they are embarrassed by this president. I am fascinated, by the way, that Republicans are counseling candidates to get closer to a president with a 38% approval rating. Also, they don’t like his policy. Health care was the number one issue right ahead of guns yesterday in Virginia. It’s not lost on these suburban constituents that the president is talking about taking away the protections for people with preexisting conditions, ending health care for 30 million people. It’s his demeanor and his policies that are hurting him and the party right now."
