Are our Republican primary voters so MAGA that they would boot Tillis in favor a Trump endorsed challenger?? They nominated Mark Robinson, so I guess so. I will say that Tillis seems very much in earnest about Ukraine. Trump has not pulled the plug on our assistance. My suspicion is that there could be behind-the-scenes pressure from Republican hawks in the Senate that may be putting the brakes on Trump vis-a-vis Ukraine. Perhaps even Little Marco is speaking up. Tillis's best option may be to run as an independent next year promising to caucus with the Republicans while hoping that Roy Cooper does not declare. As an independent he could play hardball with Thune. In his present posture, Tillis looks very weak... tough talk before he inevitably caves.
