How can the party seize on this moment to hold GOP lawmakers accountable in 2018, keep the grass roots engaged, and, more broadly, bring about a period of Democratic renewal?

California Sen. Kamala Harris had some heated words this week for an Idaho congressman's assertion at a town hall that "nobody dies because they don't have access to healthcare." "Like this guy, this congressman, you might as well say, 'People don't starve because they don't have food.'

On television talk shows and congressional town hall meetings, the GOP drive showed no signs of fading from public view.
