This is the Republicans' dilemma. They want to run on the economy, & even at an event held specifically to promote tax reform, Trump turns it into all immigration all the time...
23 districts voted for Hillary - and in 2017 off year elections more suburban erosion. These are things that happened, otherwise I might agree w/ you on the politics of it.

Here's what I've learned: The fat cat donors never, ever have their pulse on the issues that matter. Never ever. In fact, only one fat cat ever really understood the issues that matter... and he's now the President of the United States

What matters and what works are two different things. You won't get an argument from me that donors are often clueless about real politics.

Here's what I'm saying - the GOPe message about growth and taxes doesn't work. In a few districts? Sure. In states, no. Get someone with a 'nice' personality, but Trump's message and guaranteed winner. That's why it sucks so much that Josh Mandel dropped out. That race was 100%.

I think you're right about presidential elections as a general rule (Romney proved that) and you argue well. My analysis is focused on this midterm, under these conditions, where btw Trump isn't on ballot.
-
I hear ya. But the House is very gerrymandered and the Senate map is so favorable to the GOP (again, just so sad Mandel dropped out) that I think a Trumpian GOP will be fine. I might think Paul Ryan and Co. are trying to lose on purpose. But Trump is herculean and will help
