Democrats scramble on taxes as Republicans gain steam


Recommended Posts

Washington (CNN)Caught flat-footed by the suddenly increasing popularity of the GOP tax plan, leading Democrats are urging the party's candidates to ignore the day-to-day controversies surrounding President Donald Trump's White House and focus their campaigns on the economy.

The scramble to reignite opposition to a tax plan that was deeply unpopular when it passed in December but is now seen favorably by about half of voters comes as Democrats fear that their chances of claiming House and Senate majorities in November's midterm elections are slipping.

They are scared because they all voted against it.

Economy keeps rolling and the GOP will hold the house unless something real comes out on the Trump/Russia collusion.   They will still lose seats but hold it.   It will be tough for them to lose the Senate with the races up for re-election.

Nice! You can put a fork in it here in the lower P. Two days of 40’s took us out. Ski hill still looks good though. Boy turns 18 tomorrow, I think I might take him to the casino.

Well you have a point. I was speaking more in terms of economic stability. Bush started Iraq but Obama didnt end Afghanistan after OBL was killed and launched numerous other conflicts and the drone bombings.
