This ugly mess of the Trump Administration will have changed things against them so much by the next election, that a new political formula for success will be born. The birthing process is drawn-out and painful, but there are many signs that it is taking place. The disharmony among republicans about the current healthcare bill and the warnings they're giving to Trump about interfering with the Special Counsel, are two of them. The findings of the Special Counsel and other investigators, may snowball into such a huge culpability for Trump and his henchmen, that all of these considerations could be rendered moot.
The investigations could also send Democrats into disarray, let alone prison.

The GOP will pick up seats. The 2018 senate races are packed with vulnerable dems and safe GOPS. Maybe a surprise or two but it will likely gain the GOP 2-3 seats even in a disaster.

The Greedy Old Party members are scared to meet with constituents. However, they have no problem meeting with lobbyists to line their own pockets.

That's rich coming from a party that produces plenty of murderers and bombers of abortion clinics, doctors, churches, pastors, and minorities.

Not that many if you were to list the counts for each you'd see the left holds the record. Even now we see entertainers, so-called comedians, movie stars relishing talk about blowing up the White House, assassinations...etc. None of them are on the right or Republicans that I know of.

Plenty in the news lately who are on the left, though. I equate "left" with Democrat party, by the way.

Decades ago Dems were a good party, but they lost their way.

I look forward to Kentucky realizing that when McConnell told them he was working to "strengthen Medicaid" what he really meant was cut Medicaid. From Kentucky's own newspaper:

"Led by Kentucky’s Mitch McConnell, Congress is poised to undermine the 52-year-old program that covers more Kentuckians and Americans than any other form of health insurance: Medicaid."

"The 1.4 million Kentuckians on the program might think “strengthen Medicaid” means expanding benefits, or raising reimbursement rates so more doctors will accept it. Not hardly."

The Democrat Party which poured $10s of millions of dollars into those districts and they failed. Why? Because of nonsense in the OP.
yes, because we werent supposed to win those elections. Thats the entire reason your comment makes no sense.

Also, as I stated before, both parties have poured money into those elections. the fact that your guys even felt the need to defend those seats says more than anything, and the fact that you have to match Dem spending there says more.

In your dreams. Paid? More likely they will face older voters who will be very angry about premiums increase.
