Obama Administration Going After Republican Congressman

With the new divide among the Republican Party caused by the release of the audio where Donald Trump describes what is essentially sexual assault, Democrats are going after more than Trump. The Democrats see this as an opportunity to go after both Senate and House seats, and they are using Donald Trump to do it.

Essentially, the Democrats want use this to give their party momentum and stun the momentum of the Republicans. They will most likely be running adds all across the country in an effort to attack the incumbent Republicans and be sending people to campaign in the key areas. In Ohio, the person doing the campaigning is currently President Obama. He isn't holding anything back, attacking those like the Republican Senator Rob Portman for standing by Trump only until now. He believes they aren't deserving of their seats in Congress because they sat by for the last year while Trump spewed out racist and sexist rhetoric and have only now abandoned him due to immense pressure. 

Now, I doubt this will do much in Ohio, it really looks like Senator Portman has this wrapped up, but this could help Clinton win in Ohio and this strategy could have immense effect around the country.
