Of course it won't be "so easy." Even if everything comes up completely aces for the Democrats between now and whenever, I am sure that they'll somehow manage to find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, as they have done far too often lately.
Also, I kind of really despise the fact that the Democrat "leadership" seem to be thinking about this shit in terms of "the bIg BeAuTiFuL bIlL is terrible and is going to hurt a lot of people... and that's great, because it gives us a chance to win again!!!" rather than in terms of "the BiG bEaUtIfUl BiLl is terrible and is going to hurt a lot of people. Period. Full Stop. End of Line. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200."
It would be like playing in some sportsball thing, seeing the other team's star player literally die on the sportsplace due to some horrendous injury, and immediately thinking "Wonderful! We can actually win this game now!" (EDIT) Well, no, I guess this would be less like seeing the other team's star player die and more like seeing that star player go batshit insane, dive into the crowd, murder several of the audience members (half or more of whom were there specifically because they were megafans of that very star player), and get arrested and dragged away in handcuffs, and then immediately thinking "Yes! Awesome! This is our chance!" (/EDIT)
On the one hand, it is mind boggling to me that "the Democratic brand remains deeply unpopular" given that their opponents are, you know... *gestures vaguely in the direction of Dumbshit Jackass Trump and the GQP*, but on the other hand, given my own personal observations of the Democrats over the years and the fact that I, myself (a registered Democrat), don't even like them very much (though I still like them many orders of magnitude more than I like the GQP), it's not actually all that shocking or surprising that they're so heavily disliked lately. And shit like this is why. They seem almost ecstatic by the fact that this dogshit bill got passed, because, at least in their minds, it seems to give them the "in" that they so desperately needed. I mean, no, that's not quite as vile and evil as thinking that this dogshit bill is actually good, but still, it's pretty vile, all the same.
