MSNBC breaks down how appeals to ‘the cult of Trump’ are hurting Republicans in the midterms

President Donald Trump's closing message in the midterm elections may be appealing to the "cult" who worship him while alienating everyone else, MSNBC reported Wednesday.

"We are now just six days away from election day, as Republicans fight each other amidst Trump's desperately toxic final message Democrats appear at this moment to have the momentum," anchor Chris Hayes reported. "They currently have an average eight-point lead in the generic congressional ballot, which -- if it holds -- will likely be enough to overcome gerrymandering by the GOP and give them control of the House."

"Polls even show a handful of Democratic candidates tied with Republican opponents in deep, deep red districts," the host said. "We're talking places where Trump won by 20 points or more."

"Democratic control of one or both houses of Congress is frankly a nightmare scenario for a president who faced no serious oversight despite near constant, credible charges of corruption and scandal after scandal after scandal," Hayes noted.

"The problem for GOP candidates is that the scare-mongering and the lying don't have that much traction outside the cult of Trump," he continued. "The Republican Party is splintering in real-time -- only days before the crucial vote."

Tom Perez, the chair of the Democratic National Committee, was hopeful.

"I'm optimistic, the early voting numbers, give me optimism," noted Perez. "We have so many races that are a dead heat."

"This is the vote of our lifetime," he added.
