Political Cornflakes: GOP goes after former President Obama, but doesn’t defend President Trump

GOP goes after former President Obama, but doesn’t defend President Trump. Poll shows McAdams gaining on Love. AG’s office not to being charges against former UFA officials.

Happy Monday. Republicans are outraged -- about former President Barack Obama, that is. After Obama gave a stinging rebuke of President Donald Trump’s tenure in the White House, Republicans criticized Obama for breaking a tradition of former presidents steering clear of attacking their successors. But the Republicans weren’t defending Trump as much as hating on Obama. [Politico]

Topping the news: A new poll has shown Republican House of Representatives candidate Mia Love to be only three percentage points ahead of Democratic House candidate Ben McAdams.
