The new GOP tax plan proves it: The problem isn't just Trump. It's Republicans.
The Republican tax bill is finally out, and it doesnt change the two competing narratives about it, which are that its either an enormous giveaway to the rich and corporations (the Democrats story) or that it will unleash spectacular growth that will trickle down to everyone (the Republicans story).
But this bill, in all its mangled confusion, represents exactly where Republicans are today, in terms of both policy and politics. And thats not a good place.
Yes, President Trump is going to send out some stupid tweets and say some stupid things that will make passing the bill more difficult. But the problems congressional Republicans have are of their own making.

John Kasich did some pretty awful things in Ohio, like limiting polling stations in urban areas.
