Republicans Have Their Backs Against the Wall

Playbook: “After nearly two years of President Trump executing his vision for America, voters will get a chance to decide whether they are happy with the direction of the country, or if they want to break up Republican Washington.”

“But also, today could mark the final gasp of a House Republican majority that was built in 2010 principally on repealing Obamacare, cutting government spending and opening up the legislative process. Now, eight years later, not only have Republicans failed to repeal Obamacare, they are getting hammered over their opposition to the Affordable Care Act and some of its key provisions on the campaign trail. Government spending is through the roof. And critics complain that the legislative process is as closed as ever before.”

“There is not true geographical consistency to where Republicans are struggling. They have their backs against the wall in Southern California, suburban Chicago, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Iowa, Georgia, North Carolina, New York, New Jersey and even Texas.”
