It wouldn’t surprise me one bit that the GOP is deliberately plotting to lose the senate and maybe the house, their hatred of Trump and his agenda are that intense. They would do anything to derail Trump’s effort to put America first.
It is easier to not be in charge. I think your theory is correct.

It is highly possible that there will be some major players who get “dumpted” for their failures and ineptness. Time to DEMAND term limits. They get what they earned!
“......the GOP is deliberately plotting to lose the senate and maybe the house, their hatred of Trump and his agenda....”.........
You may be on to something. They are already the same a demodummies anyway and justly deserve to be called “rino’s”.
“Not our fault, blame our ‘friends across the aisle.”
GOP - Party of Can't. We tried but can't because:
1-Dems have Congress & White House
2-Only have the House
3-Have House & Senate but Obama still POTUS
4-Have House, Senate & White House but need 60 seats in Senate
Never short on excuses, are they?
Plus (not breaking news) GOP loathes conservative base and hates Trump
The GOP would “fight” to lose tha majority if Hillary was president. The GOP is designed to be “authorized dissent,” not “authorized direction.”
