From the theory of the blue state model to supporting the tax reform bill, Democrats are not sitting as pretty as they may think, according to many on the right. A roundup of editorials Friday looks at where they need to do some work.

Opinions from the right:

1. Good Riddance to the Blue State Model

From American Greatness: Liberals should begin to realize that middle of the country Americans are no longer going to go along with the outdated model of governing.

2. The Beginning of the End of the Obamacare Era

From Sen. Orrin Hatch, (R-Utah): Getting rid of the individual mandate is a good first step in getting rid of the Affordable Care Act.

3. Democrats May Wish They'd Supported Trump's Tax Cut

From CBS News: Will the left come to regret not supporting a tax reform plan that puts money in Americans’ pockets?
