Republicans Are in Too Little Disarray

Matthew Yglesias: “Democrats are, to put it mildly, not exactly enjoying intra-party peace, unity, and good vibes this summer. But that trend has attracted so much attention that I think we’re largely missing the other big politics story of this season: The Republican Party is in a bizarre level of array for a party whose leader is hideously unpopular.”

“The current generic-ballot polling average for Republicans is bad, but Donald Trump’s approval rating is much worse. The gap between these two measures reflects Democrats’ own weaknesses, but it’s also a reminder of a fundamental upside opportunity for every Democrat in the country.”
