Madden: Trump’s Rhetoric Counterproductive for Republicans in the Suburbs

‘Suburban women ... don’t have the same reaction as base voters do when you have very divisive rhetoric on things like immigration’

EXCERPT:

MADDEN: "And that has to be the concern for many Republicans, because while Trump’s rhetoric may play with base voters, one of the big worries that you have to have is one of the demographics that’s going to affect very large in many of these battleground districts for the House, which are in suburbs, are going to be suburban women and they don’t have the same reaction as base voters do when you have very divisive rhetoric on things like immigration. This could be counterproductive for a lot of those Republicans in places like — in the suburbs and places where I am right now, like Chicago or, you know, places like — outside of Philadelphia where there are a lot of battleground races that are going to decide whether or not Republicans are able to keep the House."
