That said, these numbers help explain why the OBBB‘s cuts to Medicaid, Obamacare, SNAP and industrial policy subsidies paired with extensive tax curs are not as politically toxic for Trump as one might expect
Yet...
There are still some Republicans (like Sens. Tillis and Hawley) who see the danger in how badly those cuts will effect voters in states Trump won (and therefore THEIR political careers, since Trump won't be on the ballot in 2026).
But many Republicans in the House are Trumpets (i.e. swept into office by Trump's presidential win in 2016). And when the you know what hits the fan, they perhaps believe they will be able to blame it on Biden, Obama or LBJ and are confident the Trump sheep will believe anything he says anyway.
Democrats will still have the edge in the midterms but I believe James Carville and Paul Begala are too overly optimistic about the number of House seats that will flip. Perhaps if they were active in running the DCCC. But they aren't.

NO BS. The majority of voters voted for President Trump. Did you vote? PS your side LOST. @samueltyler2

@jackjjackson again, he never drew a majority of voters! Are you so brainwashed that you cannot even admit that FACT???
