Republican politicians looking to get ahead electorally have a new task in 2018: Not only must they align themselves with the policies of President Donald Trump, they must also refrain from criticizing his personal behavior.
That’s the overall message so far for Republicans, veteran GOP pollster Ed Goeas argued in a recent panel discussion on Hill.TV’s show “What America’s Thinking.”
South Carolina Rep. Mark Sanford was the latest Republican officeholder to learn this lesson after he lost a party primary election last week.
“If you look to his voting record, he’s supporting the Trump policies but he did not communicate that well,” Goeas told host Joe Concha.
“What America’s Thinking” airs weekdays at 1pm ET on Hill.TV.
