not going to be a good election for the party in power, the one whose president is in power. we keep seeing the generic ballot between democrats and republicans go back and forth. it looks like democrats, another bowl puts them pulling out to a lead again. and so much can happen before november. how much is this tax cut is the economic message going to be part of what drives voters to the polls in the fall? the republican is going to be a huge factor getting them to the polls because the economy is doing well and the tax law is working. the democrats don t have a messaging problem about the tax law, they have a reality problem about the tax law. they told us that this was a frankenstein monster that was going to be an apocalypse in the end of the world and then that didn t happen. and then people started seeing bonuses coming into their paychecks and they set those are only crumbs. turned out those work sort of insulting dismissals to people who thought that a thousand, 2,000 bucks i
