Bakari Sellers: The Midterms Will Be a Referendum on Trump

‘The fact still remains that this race is going to be a referendum on Donald Trump’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SELLERS: "No but this race will be about it. As much as Democrats are talking about issues every single day, they’re talking about the fact that trade wars aren’t good for America, the fact that we need to make sure that we strengthen up our health care system, the fact still remains that this is race is going to be a referendum on Donald Trump. Midterm elections are reference on Donald Trump. Even more importantly these cultural wars help gin up our base as well because our base doesn’t look at this necessarily as culture wars as much as they are dog whistles. And when you have things like the Roseanne Barr incident, or the football players, or all of this things, then you realize that there is a string of racism and xenophobia and bigotry that Democrats and their base wants to beat back as well. And so it’s a double-edged sword for Donald Trump. He actually played it well in 2016. I think people will push that back in 2018."
