Republicans are polling to see if their House and Senate candidates have been tainted by Donald Trump’s crude comments about women captured on video, says CQ Roll Call’s Elections editor Nathan Gonzales. Senior political reporter Simone Pathé is watching the most vulnerable House Republicans and Missouri’s Sen. Roy Blunt, whose surprisingly competitive race is trending in the wrong direction for the GOP.

Show Notes:

• Democratic Group Hits Roy Blunt for Out-of-State Resort Trips
• Republicans’ Agonizing Wait for Latest Diagnosis
• Trump Says Women Have Heard ‘a Lot Worse’
• 4 Weeks To Go: Top Senate Challengers and Vulnerable House Incumbents

Surprised that Trump is attacking the GOP? You shouldn’t be. He isn’t a Republican. He is a Trumpian.
