New House Republican campaign chair doesn't think Trump is a liability in 2020

Rep. Tom Emmer spent last Monday in a briefing on an email hack that plagued the National Republican Congressional Committee this year. As that news broke the next day, the
incoming chairman faced a public back-and-forth with a fellow member who declared plans to play in primaries to combat the party’s dwindling number of women.
Emmer, who was just elected to a third term in Minnesota's 6th District, is more upbeat than some of his colleagues. Republicans in the lower chamber have begun a public hand-
wringing over the future of the party after an electoral drubbing that handed Democrats dozens of districts in suburban areas that were once Republican strongholds.
“There’s a narrative that people are trying to build out there that somehow there’s been this shift, this political realignment in the suburbs,” Emmer said. “That’s not true. It isn’t there.”
Emmer's analysis of the midterms pins the blame on the Republican Party at large for failing to win over independent voters with a cohesive message on the booming economy. He
stressed that the party’s focus on immigration in the final days repelled moderates, but he disputed attempts to fault the president specifically and pushed back on assumptions that
Trump would be a liability in 2020.
“You’re definitely impacted, but you don’t rise or fall based on the executive,” he said. “You get to run your own race, but I think this is a customer-service business. You have to have
your own independent brand.”
Some House Republicans have openly called for a thorough examination into their 2018 losses, but Emmer declined to say if there would be such an autopsy.

sorta overdid the crease brush on this one.
Y'know what that's just fine by me. The longer the GOP backs Tinyhands, the longer progressive causes have an easy rallying point and the more focus gets shifted over to the party and the more the question of "Why the fuck are they supporting this man?" gets thrown into the limelight
I'm just Amused that Donald fucking Trump is the hill the GOP had chosen to die on.
He looks like one of those Tech Deck thumb dudes
oh my god, what a flash from the past

If it wasn’t Donny, it’s be someone else. This just sped up downfall.
I guess Trump's total coup of the GOP has finally finished.
man they're crashing hard on survivorship bias.
