Internal Polling for Trump must be REAL BAD. New Republic exposes the infighting

https://newrepublic.com/post/187955/team-trump-knows-end-near-pissed-disgusted

Team Trump Knows the End Is Near—and They’re Pissed at Their Candidate
Donald Trump’s own team is “disgusted”

“I just don’t know, you know, how much longer I can put up with this,” one person on the Trump campaign told Alberta last month, after John Kelly’s warning on Trump’s love of Hitler and fascism. “I’m just not even sure I can ride out this campaign,” the staffer added.

Talking with CNN and MSNBC Monday night, Alberta said that some of those working on the campaign are “disillusioned” or even feel “resentment” and “disgust” toward the Republican nominee.

“There is a fatigue and exhaustion, and at times, I think, it would be accurate to say, a disgust, for some of these people that has set in,” Alberta told MSNBC. “Even among the people who have poured their blood, sweat and tears” into reelecting Trump, there is a feeling that “something is off here.”


Womp. Womp.

Trump seems to have crossed a line with some that many of us didn't think existed. This has been brewing for some time now.

Madison Square Garden was the point on the exclamation point of the Convicted Felon's campaign collapse.

As Bill Kristol predicted.

They need to comfort themselves that Doonie didn't destroy the Republican party and that, somehow, when he is gone all will be peachy keen.

they'll still need to go maga to keep the magats, and Dems will continue to hang it around their necks.

The reality is that they were going to get a bad beating at some point to allow a reset. They should take that hit and rebuild, but they're a bunch of cowards.

If you don't keep an eye on them, take care of them and train them, don't act surprised when you get bit, wind up fleas, and all the food set out on the counter has been eaten.

You are the company you keep.

I think, though, the staffers are having difficulty with trying to elect the gigantic hole of unending, everlastingly unsatisfied need that Mr. Trump appears to be.

Most of us wouldn’t last seconds no matter how much we were promised in payment. Toxic boss doesn’t even seem to be a large enough term to encompass all of the horribleness included in working for somebody as miserable as Mr. Trump clearly is.

I guess they didn't "feel disgust" before taking the job because they, too, are disgusting people.

Alberta managed to catch a campaign that was doing relatively well until infighting and Trump's own impulsiveness and need for chaos deep-sixed it. Harris ran a flawless campaign, but Trump has no one to blame but himself on this ... not that he ever will.

Go to bed with a mangy rabid cur.....Wake up with cooties that are prickly and hard to eradicate.

The one semi-positive thing you can say about Trump is that he has never hidden who he is. He doesn't have a filter, so he doesn't use it.

And because of that, they should be banished form major politics.
