Trump just gave Congressional Repubs cover for next year...

When people start to see their insurance increase, they can say "I didn't vote for that."

It's the macro game. Destroy everything, but it's OK if you have someone to blame.

1. Ummmmmmm, no.

Congressional Repubs owns it as well. They have the ability to ok payments but won't. t-rump is using millions of lives including children to further take away health care, which in turn will effect not only lives but the economy. The GOPs are sick and truly suck.

2. For us, sure, but for their base?

They thrive on misdirection and deception. Hell, they LIKE being lied to, from the pulpit and from the political dais.

Yes, we know the problem is endemic to the Repub party, but the "he's not really a Repub" talk has been simmering under the surface since Trump went public. Natural cover for people who really want to believe their own Rep would never screw them, it's all the other guys. That's how the recidivism rate hangs above 90%.

3. Democratic registration drives should be full push right now

Next year is too late and too balanced. There will be Koch money and distractions galore. As the OP indicates, the GOP will have cover and excuses. Nothing remains so slanted for so long.

If we don't take advantage right now with massive registration drives on college campuses and other areas targeting first time voters, all of this Trump implosion and unpopularity will be mostly lost in the wind.

4. And we need to teach people to monitor their voting status...

There seems no end to the stealth methods Repubs use to purge voters.

I'm in a pretty safe blue state, but I know that all across the Mid-west and Deep South, Repub efforts to destroy voting rights and rolls are on-going.
