Will a lack of policy accomplishments actually hurt Republicans in 2018?

The best thing they can do is tax reform; especially if they lower the corporate tax rate and do some kind of sweetheart repatriation deal that corporations can't refuse.

The biggest challenge in the post financial crisis economy is trying to get growth for the middle and working classes in this country going again without engaging in the same credit buildup we had in the 2000's. The economic gains during the Obama recovery went overwhelmingly to the top 10% of the income distribution.

If the GOP is really ballsy they could just do away with Dodd Frank/the cfpb and let the 2000's credit economy come roaring back to stimulate growth again among middle and lower income people. Problem here is that even a lot of the guys on Wall Street don't want Dodd Frank to go away (at least many or most provisions) since they know that a 2008 redux would put them in a very small corner.
