Will the GOP be thanking the left for the help come November?
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.
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.
Republicans & Democrats who see a better year ahead differ in their reasons why:

Among Republicans: 36% cite the economy, jobs or the stock market; 23% cite Trump or his policies
Among Democrats: 26% are generally optimistic; 18% cite the midterm electionshttps://t.co/Xn3BNir36y pic.twitter.com/3elrzF0cM2
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.
