What republicans was she going to lose and why?

Good advice.

I guess that's the impression one gets if they watch the MSM.

They keep harping on that +3M popular vote total. Killary won California by 4.2M votes and NY by 1.8M votes. So Trump won the other 48 states by 3M total. To people in those 2 hell holes, sure it seems like Trump is universally despised. To the sane folks in the rest of America, he's doing just fine.

I'm still amazed most D's STILL think there is an actual national popular vote.

From what they were saying on the talk show that was discussing it, he would automatically lose Susan Collins and most likely Lisa Murkowski as well.

Both were worried how confirming a strict pro-choice justice that has made her feelings known about Roe v Wade being wrong would play with moderates and independents in their purple states. Any hope of attracting a red state dem would be lost as well.

Seems they aren't willing to risk losing their jobs over a SCOTUS nomination.

That's what they're angling for

The fake news media are rushing out the max boot's and george will's of the world, because they are attempting to accuse the Republicans of precisely what is happening to the dems.

The dems made a brutal miscalculation when they wined and dined the SJW alt-left, and turned their back on blue dogs. Now they are at an impasse where whichever way they go to appease a segment of their base, they alienate the other. Go further left, lose more blue dogs to President Trump. Go back to the middle, lose the alt-left and have them likely attempt to burn your party to the ground. Stay put, and piss everyone off.

Meanwhile, President Trump is gluing the GOP together and doing enough to please each segment of the party, so the handful of "Never Trumpers" left are being thrown into the spotlight in attempt to set the fake narrative that President Trump's base is collapsing, when it's actually stronger than ever.

Transparent and pathetic.
