Establishment Republicans tend to be more unpopular than Trump. There's a reason so many "noncontroversial" establishment Republicans are polling poorly.
They are unpopular because they have:
- Supported unpopular health care policy that showed they had no actual solutions to the ACA
- Supported an unpopular tax cut
- Have been supporting an unpopular Trump on 90-95% of what he says and does
- Are insufficiently authentic in their support of Trump to a couple of Trump base supporters
People should stop being so surprised about establishment Republicans polling poorly. This election is going to be really bad for Republicans if the environment does not change fast
It's looking like 2020 is shaping up to be a national version of the 2016 Nevada Senate race. Not good for your Snowe's, Gardner's, McSally's & Ernst's
