Will the GOP be thanking the left for the help come November?

By Debbie Lord for The Atlanta Journal Constitution
Feb 7, 2018

What looks like a good chance to pick up a majority of seats in the House could be turning into a wash, thanks to some big blunders by Democrats. A roundup of editorials Wednesday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the right:

1, Crumbs? 'I'll take it.' And Democrats should too

From Roll Call: What have Democrats done for voters? So far, make fun of their paychecks.

2. Democrats need better cents

From the New York Daily News: The Democrats should learn that money in your pocket, however small the amount, is still money in your pocket.

3. Democrats (not intentionally) for Trump and the GOP

From columnist Bernard Goldberg: The GOP may not be saved in the midterms by the tax plan, but Democrats are doing everything they can to help them out.
