The left predicts 2018 will be the year of Trump’s downfall

With the new year upon us, what can we look forward to? A roundup of editorials Friday says a GOP reckoning is on the horizon.

From Vox: Republicans are still backing Trump, but they will pay the price for it in 2018.

Resolutions and predictions
From columnist Mark Shields: It looks like 2018 will be a bum year for the GOP and lots of congressional Republicans will be deciding to "spend more time with the family."

Resolutions we'd like to see
From USA Today: Sure, some are pipe dreams, but what's wrong with a little wishful thinking (looking at you, Mr. President).
