Commentators today setting it up as if this is a must-win for Dems or else the protests don't mean anything. The coverage could and should be partially about the stock scandal of its previous occupant Tom Price, but not a word about that. If it had been a Dem, that's all they would have talked about. "Are voters sick of congressmen enriching themselves and selling their votes for personal gain?" THAT would be a useful frame.
