As the Republican National Convention opens this week, President Donald Trump is in a tough position. … There isn’t much doubt that if the election were held today Trump would lose and might well take down the Republican Senate with him.
So, all eyes will be on the Republicans’ convention this week to see if Trump can turn the tide and have a fighting chance of winning the Electoral College, even if he can’t win the popular vote. …
As we watch this week we’ll be asking: what does Trump have to do to get back into the game? CONT.
