Do any of you believe that Trump has the political organization in your state to field a candidate to beat a sitting republican member of Congress?

You need a political organization to field a candidate who can beat these liars?

I have been reading all these post about Trump's winning and how Congress better watch out. I wonder just how naive it is to think that Trump is going to change enough members of Congress to achieve all his promises? Do people really think that is doable?

I see no signs of any Trump organization.

Depends on the state, I would guess.

In many, the party organizational set ups are a mess. See, e.g., Louisiana.

OK....Trump doesn't have to have the organization to beat an incumbent; all he has to do is endorse someone and you don't any money for that.

Powerful political opposition. None exists today that I can see.

Trump is simply a blow hard making promises he can't keep unless he is going to get out there and start actually leading on legislation and political organization.

Don't worry your big government favorite politicians will probably win except for Flake and Strange.

Hypothetically speaking Trump would beat any Arkansas Republican by like 60% in my estimation. Tom Cotton would probably lose his home county like 75-25.

While this is not the case of someone running against an incumbent, Trump's endorsement of Luther Strange hasn't seemed to have helped him in the upcoming race against Roy Moore.

I am certainly no big government fan but unlike you people I see the reality of big government and I know Trump has destroyed a lot of political capital he had.
