Dan Henninger: ‘If the House Turns Democratic the Trump Presidency Turns Into a Pumpkin’

‘President Trump is out at the campaign rallies for one reason, he wants to hold the House of Representatives

RUHS EXCERPT:

HENNINGER: "President Trump is out at the campaign rallies for one reason, he wants to hold the House of Representatives. If the house turns democratic the Trump presidency turns into a pumpkin. The Democrats need to pick up a net 23 seats to gain control of the house. There are between 20 and 25 Republican seats that are on the bubble where they will win or lose by 2 or 3 points. If you’re in a strong conservative seat and 20 points ahead you can run on anything. But these Republicans who are in tight, tight races have to focus on simplicity and clarity. The idea of running on all these things the president talks about, shutting down the government, not shutting down the government. Inviting Vladimir Putin come, not inviting Vladimir Putin. Only Donald Trump can run on all that."
