Reacting to rumors from MAGALand that Lara Trump's name has been mentioned as a potential Republican candidate to replace Sen. Thom Tillis in the Senate representing North Carolina, two campaign consultants from different sides of the aisle suggested it would not end well for the GOP.
With Tillis making the surprise announcement on Sunday afternoon that he has better things to do than deal with Donald Trump, the rush is on to take his spot next year.
Speaking with MSNBC host Chris Jansing, former Mitt Romney chief strategist Stuart Stevens was asked, "What's your take on a possible Senator Laura Trump?"
"I think she'd be a disaster for Republicans," he shot back with a laugh.
"Well, two things are true," he continued. "The race probably would be over, she would win the primary and she'd probably be the worst candidate that they could field. This has been a very tightly contested state; it's one of the states that Romney won and that [Barack] Obama had won before. I don't think there's anything that's going on now inside the Trump world that he's delivering that makes him more popular in North Carolina."

Former Obama campaign manager Jim Messina had a similar view.
"I have some bipartisan agreement with Stuart on his," Messina began. "Lara Trump is a dream for Democrats, and she will lose that seat because she —"
"Why? What is it about her?" the MSNBC host interrupted. "Again, tell me."
"She will not be able to separate herself from Donald Trump and all the things he just did," he replied. "You know, a normal candidate can come out there and say, 'Look, I disagree with the president on a couple of things. I'm a different kind of Republican,' the way Thom Tillis won two very, very close Senate races."
"He won by less than two points last time," he elaborated. "This is a state that Trump only won by three points in the last election. It is the prototypical swing state, and Lara Trump will just own all the anger at what President Trump is doing to these voters."
