Kim Strassel: “If a tree falls in a noisy circus, does it make a sound? If the Trump administration announces its largest deregulatory effort to date while the president is in the throes of a Twitter rampage, will anybody pay attention?”
“No, and thereon may hang the balance of Republican congressional control. It’s never clear where Donald Trump gets political advice, if he does at all. What is clear is that this White House is doing an able job of whiffing one of the best political messages in decades, a reality that is demoralizing administration insiders and GOP candidates alike.”
Playbook: “There is near uniformity among Republicans who believe that, absent a massive dynamic shift, the House could easily be lost in November. They wish the president would just contrast the Democrats’ position to Republicans’ policies.”
