I am not happy with this loss. This is devastating.

Bannon had a major influence on where this Tax Bill went:

Steve Bannon Cheers as GOP Tax Plan Pours SALT in Wounds - The 28 Republicans in the high-tax blue states of California, New York, and New Jersey will face a moment of truth when the House votes again on the tax bill.

Because of this myopic strategy of having millions of middle class American "pay for" the $1.5 Trillion needed to give a massive tax break to corporations, the House is in serious jeopardy. The 2018 race is roughly 11 months away.

If this bill is signed as it looks like the reconciliation process is currently being reported, it will destroy or cap most tax deductions take by millions in the middle class.

The GOP Congressmen and Congresswomen who occupy seats in CA, NJ, NY, and other places will pay a serious price. If if they vote against the final bill, it doesn't matter. The Democrats will run effective campaign commercials (with sad piano music in the background), claiming that XXX voted to raise your taxes.

And they won't even have to lie.

Even Mark Levin said the GOP was nuts - this wasn't what they ran on. When did Trump or any GOP candidate say in 2016: "We are going to raise taxes on millions in the middle class in order to offset revenues for a massive corporate tax cut!"

Never.

I fear we will lose the House in 2018.

That's not your fear...you simply fear losing federal tax subsidies for ‘RAT spending at the state/local levels.
