Bash: GOP ‘Confident Trump Will Lose’ and ‘Panicked’ He’ll Bring Down Senate Majority

BASH: "Trump is furious that the House Speaker Paul Ryan held a conference call with his rank and file and told them he will no longer be defending Trump and he wants every one of his members to say and do whatever they need to about Trump. Sources tell me several GOP lawmakers on the call push back at Ryan, saying he’s effectively conceding the race to Hillary Clinton. Though Republican leaders deny that it’s his intent, the reality is that’s exactly what Ryan’s message means. Republicans I talked to are confident that Trump will lose, and they’re panicked that he will not only take the Senate Republican majority down with him. GOP strategists say internal polling shows they have now concern about House Republicans in competitive districts. They could be in real trouble."
