I think the lackluster performance of the GOP in elections today can be directly attributed to the failures of the prior GOP midterm "waves" -- notably the 2010 and 2014 election cycles -- to accomplish anything of substance.

Nowhere is this more obvious than the decision to campaign heavily (and raise lots of money) in 2010 and 2014 on a foundational promise to repeal ObamaCare. I truly believe the Republican Party leadership was caught completely off guard after the 2016 election when the party ended up controlled the White House and both houses of Congess ... because they were suddenly in a position where they COULD fulfill campaign promises that they never had any intention of fulfilling.

I fear that McCarthy may turn into another Paul Ryan..
