I think we are most fiscally responsible when we have a Democrat President and Republican Congress.
I agree on divided government. However the current GOP and their political idea of doing nothing under a Dem. President was harmful to the country. The only good thing was the sequestration agreement to cut spending equally. Current group seems to be unable to corral their POTUS and actually get an idea of what to pass. Time for that Dem. House and Senate.
They should pass bills requiring compromise and force POTUS to put up or shut up.
anyone who denies the gop could be in big trouble in 2018 is in denial. the house will likely flip democrat unless voters become focused on the growing economy, jobs growth, and more money in their pocket due to their income tax cuts instead of a personal dislike for trump.
Analyses like this one show me that many Trump Republicans are vastly overstating their leader's position as a president of the people. I think it would be wise of moderate Republicans to publicly distance themselves from Trump in order to keep their seats after this year's election.
If the Democrats allow a shut down of our government over a bunch of foreign invaders they will be the ones worrying about their seats not the GOP.

The GOP is still in a very strong position due to gerrymandering, so things could be worse.
People really and truly dislike Trump, and that is a big problem, no way to sugar coat that. The tax cut is not very large for ordinary Americans, mine was swallowed up by an increase in my health insurance deduction so my paycheck barely looks any different, if that happens to a significant number of people it will blunt the positive affect.
Around here, there is voter dissatisfaction with the GOP, where I am perplexed is with more and more voters I speak with wanted to switch to Democrat because the GOP was not conservative enough for them. I get independents wanting to switch with the hopes that the ACA will finally be killed if they flip Congress.......really?

Oh so have the excuses ready if you don't pick up as many seats as you like?

Most people I know do not identify with his core message, and Trump has not made any attempt to broaden his appeal, he just repeats himself as if he were still on the primary campaign. Those political candidates which have strongly identified with Trump will barely get a lift.
The Washington Post is just the mouthpiece of far left Jeff Bezos of Amazon fame. Another Soros. These guys are Bond villains, and even look like them!

The 2 recent losses that Democrats are boasting as the fall of the Republicans, the republican candidates were not big Trump supporters and distanced themselves from Trump in ways that made them not electable.
Jeff Flake knows why he would not win a primary, much less a general.
