President Donald Trump is drawing large rally crowds, but those are his voters, says Michael Reagan, who questions whether those voters will turn out of House GOP candidates they might not be happy with.
"The rallies are for Trump – will those people show up for the House and Senate race?" Reagan, the son of former President Ronald Reagan, asked on Newsmax TV's "America Talks Live."
". . . If people are more angry with Trump because of things he has stated at his rallies and in his tweets, they can overshadow the positive things he has done."

Reagan's comment echoed his similar tweet Sunday: "His rallies are great for him and his ego, but will it transfer positive or negative to the members of the House & Senate this Tuesday."
Reagan, a California conservative, laments President Trump's words igniting voters against him, as opposed to his presidential actions igniting GOP voters for their candidates. Trump's rallies do not pull in Independent voters for Republican candidates, according to Reagan.
"It takes more than Republicans showing up at the polls to elect members of the House and the Senate," Reagan told host John Cardillo and Dr. Gina Loudon, who has been on the campaign trail with President Trump on Air Force One. "It also takes the Independents to show up and break in favor of the Republicans.
"And, is what Donald Trump saying at those rallies, and on his Twitter account, are those getting the Independents to break in favor of Republicans – or are those tweets and those rallies turning Independents off to the president and they will either stay home or they will vote with the Democrats?
"That's the turning point here – it's the Independents."
