GOP Senator Rips Trump: GOP Needs New Leadership

The Hill reports:

“Donald Trump’s not going to take advice from the party or from me, but I think what will happen is if he’s indicted, that becomes one of the factors [on] whether he wins primaries or not. The other factor is who else is in the race and who may make the best case,” Sen. Kevin Cramer said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“At the end of the day, what is most important for primary voters to think about is not just who they love the most, but who can win for the country and who can win for the party because we’re in desperate need of some new leadership.”

Cramer lauded Pence, Pompeo and Scott as “good candidates who understand the Trump doctrine but have a demeanor that’s probably more suited to the swing voter” than the former president.
