the senate map is not in favor of republicans like it was last year. it is very hard for republicans going into 2020. there may be primaries, but there's going to be a lot of challenges. and i think mitch mcconnell is also going to bear the wrath of this president when he runs out of people to blame. and that is going to be very difficult for him to keep any type of leadership. so perhaps cutting a deal with the speaker and putting it back on the president is going to be his best recourse. >> maybe his best recourse and, mika, susan is completely right. you look at susan collins in maine, look at corey gardner in colorado, look at chairman burr in north carolina who has been doing a wonderful job. but those three and many other republicans up in 2020, they feel the sting of donald trump's attacks, personal attacks
