A roundup of editorials on from the left.

1. Why Trump Should Be Worried About 2020

From National Journal:  "What should worry Trump is the GOP's glaring slippage in the suburbs, where brand-name Republicans were unable to sustain the unstable coalition of white-collar professionals and populist-minded Trump fans that propelled so many down-ballot Republicans to victory in 2016."

2. Is Kris Kobach's Defeat in Kansas a Model for How to Beat Trumpism?

From The New Yorker: "no midterm candidate was more Trumplike than Kobach, and his defeat suggests that Trumpism—if not Trump himself—has vulnerabilities."

3. Meet the New House Democrats: They May Not Toe the Party Line

From : New York Times: "The class is ideologically diverse as well, spanning the philosophical spectrum from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a self-described democratic socialist from New York, to Joe Cunningham, a South Carolina lawyer who won a stunning upset victory in the Charleston suburbs, on the strength of his promises to put "country over party" and work with President Trump."
