But there's the rub. There are at least 3 factors belying that "usefulness." 1. He made many enemies in the party establishment and many did not endorse him during campaign, 2. As his negatives continue to go up some will become fearful of the midterms you mentioned and a "shellacking" even worse than Obama's midterms, and 3. (yeah sadly it is third in importance) the myriad illegal and/or unethical activities he is partaking in on a daily basis.

There is also the specter of Pence as a more "useful" and "safe" replacement assuming he doesn't get brought down in the Trump debacle.
