Primary fallout: Democrats have momentum; Donald Trump Republicans face obstacles
WASHINGTON – Primary season is over, and six months of intraparty political battles revealed one basic thing: The Democrats are in better shape for the November elections than previously thought.
The Republicans remain favored to regain control of the U.S. House, according to polls and political analysts, but Democrats are now in position to win a good number of big-state governors' races and expand their slim-as-possible advantage in the U.S. Senate.
There are at least two reasons why, political analysts said: Rookie Republican candidates who are backed by the ever-contentious Donald Trump, and the emergence of abortion rights as a major campaign issue revving up Democratic voters.
It has been a "poor national environment for Democrats, but candidate quality matters," said Gunner Ramer, political director with the Republican Accountability Project, an anti-Trump political organization. In addition, the Supreme Court decision against abortion rights "changed the dynamic of the mid-terms" and made it a "choice election."

The GOP as it currently exists needs to go the way of the Whigs.
