Prediction: After we win the midterms , republicans will start moving away from Trump.

He will be a lame duck , won't be able to primary them. Many of these politicians have survival instincts. Those that survive the blue wave will suddenly pretend they weren't that much into Trump trying to position themselves for the next GOP iteration.

Yes I know its not supposed to happen. Yet, that is one of the main concern the gop has with him. He has not made use of his war chest to help them for the midterms. As far as getting them primaried, he does not need money, just a few tweets and his brain dead followers vote accordingly.
