I have heard this from many different avenues that Republicans are tired of the BS and Lies that Trump is constantly giving:
Fatigue from the daily attention that Trump creates is working negatively and mostly in Republicans;
The demoralizing reality of life under Trump:
Everyone has a breaking point and even among the Republican party many are nearing that point now:
There is a growing number of Republican Governors, Senators and U.S. representatives that have turned against Trump:
One comment I heard this morning is that many Republicans are so tired of everything that Trump requires of them every day with his daily tweets, daily attacks of the Democrats or even Republicans that do not support him blindly, the hate that is offered every day, the attention that Trump news requires every day that they will not change their support of him in the next election but may choose not to get up and go and vote for him. The outlook for another 4 years of exhaustion and fatigue is not going to stimulate them to vote this time.
"I've been in New Hampshire a bunch, I've been in Iowa a bunch, I've been in a number of states," Walsh explained. "I'm talking to Republican voters," he continued, "and I gotta tell you ... they're tired of him [Trump]. They're sick of his B.S. They're sick of his lies."

Consumers are positively exhausted.
At least that's the consensus of a solid majority of those polled by Pew earlier this year, with almost seven in 10 Americans declaring they are worn out from news fatigue — particularly Republicans.
According to the study, 77 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning independents "feel worn out over how much news there is," compared to 61 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents.

The Demoralizing Reality of Life Under Trump
Every day is the same, but still awful.
It’s boring, at this point, to talk about the cost of living with Donald Trump as president—it’s the water we all swim in now, so it’s neither unique nor new nor surprising. And yet it’s still true, which is why it’s refreshing to read Matt Ford’s excellent piece in the New Republic, “Trump’s Tax on the National Psyche.” Ford’s formulation is a useful way to think about the massive toll, in terms of time and energy stolen from Americans forced to pay attention to inane tweets and half-baked policy, this presidency has had on all of us. As Ford observes, Trump, himself an inveterate squanderer of time, is wasting all of ours: “Trump’s haphazard style of governance,” he writes, “forces journalists, lawyers, and government officials to expend innumerable hours on doomed initiatives and errant tweets. His corrosive effect on American politics forces Americans to devote far more hours of their life to thinking about him than they should.” The problem is that we have no choice but to follow the inane tweets and oppose the half-baked policy. There are serious consequences that follow to transgender soldiers, DACA kids, green card holders, and, of course, families at the border when we don’t.

Everyone has a breaking point.
It's worth remembering that fact at this moment as congressional Republicans find themselves confronted with a cavalcade of troubling news stories about President Donald Trump and his conduct in office. Because while elected GOP officials have almost totally capitulated to Trump's hostile takeover of their party, there is always a point at which you simply cannot look even quasi-objectively at the actions of this president and conclude that standing behind him remains the right (or even defensible) thing to do.
There is a growing number of Republican Governors, Senators and U.S. representatives that have turned against Trump:
THE USA TODAY Network surveyed Republican governors, senators and U.S. representatives across the country to ask whether they planned to back their party’s nominee in the wake of a newly released video in which Donald Trump is heard making lewd comments about women. Many are continuing to endorse Trump, but dozens are now backing away or denouncing his comments. See where they stand below and click to see their comments.
