David Nakamura: In Some Ways Trump Retains More Clout than His Poll Numbers Would Suggest

‘The president continues to strike fear into folks who are running for reelection not to get on his bad side’

RUSH EXCERPT:
NAKAMURA: "What’s interesting is poll numbers have gone down significant amount in terms of public approval rating. Built the way he sort of consolidated some of the levers of power in the White House and wielded his clout and unpredictable nature, his ability to attack, relentlessly attack his opponents maintains his clout. Picked the wrong horse in Alabama twice. But the president continues to strike fear into folks who are running for reelection not to get on his bad side, those on Capitol Hill want to see the Republican agenda move forward. Some ways retains more clout than someone with the poll numbers might normally suggest. Especially historic lows in the first year."
