So? Don't hurt yourself patting on your own backs for passing the tax reform bill, and wait for 2 years to see the uptick economic impact on regular voters.

Congress critters know the winning ticket (you know, those campaign promises you guys/gals made for the last 30 years), now get to work. No more excuses.

I’m thinking that the GOP establishment WANTS to lose in 2018, just to spite Trump.

Its not like they are doing anything to shore up the base.

That said, the do-nothing GOP does not deserve to win...BUT THEY WILL. The GOP wins in 2018 because the democrats are so very pathetic.

Yes the polls say Democrats have a 95% chance of losing only 8 Senate and 15 House seats. The GOP should be worried. Ha ha ha ha go away dope.

So helpful to go on CNN and provide such rich fodder. I am convinced the Stupid Party will never learn and never change.

It all hinges on who they nominate I think. Right now the Dems seem to have the edge in recruiting candidates I think. The GOP needs to work on that.

When the American people give you a majority, the control of the House, the Senate and the presidency, they expect you to do something with it," Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) told CNN

A fact anyone who watched the three episode British version of the House of Cards with Ian Richardson - the great version - could have told you. So what did the Republican party, faced with this predicament of having to do something do? Well:

So far, 27 House GOP incumbents have declared that they're not seeking re-election

You guys never told me, when I ran for this seat that some day I was going to have to do something. Why, if I do something, a lot of people won't like me.

Drain on Democratic voter rolls signals trouble for midterm elections

The Washington Times ^ | Wednesday, December 27, 2017 | David Sherfinski

Democrats for years have said Arizona was about to tip in their direction, and those hopes grew with President Trump in office — but the early evidence suggests they are struggling to grow.

The latest numbers from the state’s voting rolls show that while neither party is doing particularly well in winning over voters, Democrats have lagged behind, even as both parties gear up for a marquee U.S. Senate race and several crucial House contests next year.

The same trend is playing out in Florida, Pennsylvania and other battleground states where Democrats should have been growing their numbers in the age of Mr. Trump, but instead are stumbling.

They have lost 12,000 registered Democratic voters in Arizona since the presidential election, bringing the number down to 1.2 million. Republicans have lost just 1,000 voters and stand at nearly 1.4 million in the state.

Enrique Gutierrez, a spokesman for the state Democratic Party, chalked up the numbers to a cyclical trend and predicted support would pick up as the midterm elections approach.

“you have to give your own people incentive to go out and vote ... we need to work with the Democrats where we can on things like infrastructure.”

If you really want to get the base out, Cole, forget the infrastructure and use brass knuckles and hobnailed boots to get meaningful immigration reform in place—a wall, mandatory e-verify, end of chain migration, visa lottery. “refugee” immigration, etc. But you already know that but don’t support it, do you?

Not to mention the Roy Moore strategy will now be directed at the GOP. Expect their past to be trolled endlessly and women they never heard of making accusations.
