THURMONT, Md. — President Donald Trump says he's done campaigning for insurgents challenging incumbent Republican members of Congress.

Trump told reporters after meeting GOP House and Senate leaders at Camp David on Saturday that he's planning a robust schedule of campaigning for the 2018 midterm elections and that includes involvement in the Republican primaries. He'll campaign for incumbents, he said, and "anybody else that has my kind of thinking."

But after a stinging loss in Alabama, Trump said he's done supporting challengers, declaring: "I don't see that happening." Trump had supported Roy Moore after he won the GOP primary. Moore's defeat in the subsequent special election handed Democrats another seat in the Senate.

Trump spent much of Friday and Saturday morning hashing out his 2018 agenda with GOP House and Senate leaders, top White House aides and select Cabinet members at the presidential retreat at Camp David. He described the sessions as perhaps transformative in certain ways."

=====================================================================
That's simply wonderful news! Trump will be providing material aid to the Democrats by associating himself with GOP incumbents this year. How many do you think will uninvite him?

Perhaps Senator Flake should announce he is running?
 
Why is Trump slumming it at Camp David?
 
Trumps support in an election is like a gun that fires the wrong way. The smart GOP candidates will understand this.

Political Darwinism?

He'll support anyone who stands behind him looking like he wants to massage Trump with hot oils.

What do you make of the idea that many have around here, that Trump and the Republican establishment are at odds with each other?

He hates the establishment Republicans. He always did. The man is no Republican, but he seized on an opportunity knowing the bigots, racists, Bible thumpers and people who lost their blueberry picking jobs to Mexicans would jump on board with him.

That said, he still hates the GOP. All he cares about is himself. And the GOP supports him because they are deathly afraid of losing their jobs. In other words, none of them give a **** about the country. They're in it for them, from Trump on down to the lowest staffer in the office of the most junior Congressional reps.
