The GOP might reduce some of their losses in 2018 by doing that, but by 2019, everyone will understand that 100 more a month in their pay packet - 200 dollars a month more for healthcare = 100 dollars less a month to spend.

Its a cynical ploy to try to fool the voters. And it might work in some limited fashion in 2018. I don't think it really will. I think really there's one issue here - Trump. And tax cut or no tax cut, he's got 55%-65% of the country so mad at him that they'll ignore any tax cut.

And then there's the impact of Trump's attacks on just about every group that isn't white, evangelical Christian, straight, cisgendered, English speaking, and natively born or European heritage. It doesn't matter what the GOP does elsewhere so long as Trump keeps his noxious statements, actions, and tweets.
