14 didn’t respond, four said they didn’t want him, one dodged the question, two had “no comment,” and two — Reps. Dana Rohrabacher of California and Carlos Curbelo of of Florida — said they’d be happy to have Trump’s support.

The bottom line: The fact that so many congressmen have a hard time answering whether they want a president from their own party to support them in the midterms tells you everything you need to know about Trump’s political strength.
