I see Republicans in both Houses concentrating on campaigning until November, not legislating. First, destroying ACA is not effective in garnering the votes of Independents and wayward Democrats. Second, unless Russia has its tentacles in every voting machine or computer program, the prospective Blue Wave threat would influence Republicans do nothing that would encourage even more democratic voters to turn out. Third, assuming the Blue Wave does happen, that makes Republicans lame ducks after November 6.
