I really really doubt the tax cuts played a role here.

Polling shows around 51% of Americans support it, but it will not end up being a midterm savior.

It didn't  and that is the problem.

The GOP was banking on the cuts moving the needle and it did nothing. They need to wake up to reality, the issue is Trump and no tax cut is going to help him as long as he polling 35-40%.

Trump was not issue here, his approval is 51% in a Monmouth poll which showed 6% Lamb win, so probably even better among today's electorate. Problem for Republicans is enthusiasm gap. Saccone hit the marks he needed for a tight race in 3 counties outside Allegheny but turnout in Allegheny was higher than in these counties. Generic republican can't energise the base like Trump, that's whay they're in a rough shape. They lose suburbs because of Trump among higher educated voters, that's true and generic republican isn't Trump to offset these losses among rural not so educated communities

Lol, keep thinking that.

You sound like delusional Democrats after they lost Teddy's seat in 2010.
