Thought it's what he meant, just wanted clarification

I'd separate myself from Trump

explaining that I think he's an ineffective leader, failing to deliver on his promises,

and that I'd hold him accountable and succeed where he is failing

right

"I support Trump's agenda, but not Trump himself"

Ok

because when you're running for office, the best course of action is to attack the party

That's the general attitude about Trump here

I mean Trump is basically splitting the party, so it could work in theory

he isn't though

it's his party

"I won't be like other Republicans!"

"I won't be some bootlicker, I'll stand up to Trump and his utter incompetence"

There are still a lot of never trumpers

Nope

"I'll hold him accountable for the things he promised his 60 million voters"

Ok if Button were to run in my district I'd vote against

I mean, assuming I didn't know him at all

Hey

What he's said in the last 3 or so minutes

I would vote for Trump's agenda

Has already alienated me

You can say "he might not be going in the complete right direction, we'll set him in the right direction"

That's still iffy

You're not going to win by alienating people that still support Trump

But it's better

"I support Trump's agenda, but not Trump himself" Button that is retarded come on

Fine,

I can phrase it better,

How did your district vote in 2016?

Heavily against Trump

Percentage?

clinton by like 13 points iirc

something like that

But was it against Trump as republicans, or as democrats

Button, no offense, but you’re outlook is ridiculously negative.

Romney won here by about 12 points in 2012

This is my personal senate forecast:

and the vote shifted by 14 points by 2016
