Trump also touted GOP wins in special elections earlier this year, saying Republicans are “5 and 0” despite all the “fake news” and “money spent” by Democrats.
Well, the Special Elections are over and those that want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN are 5 and O! All the Fake News, all the money spent = 0

{mosads}Trump’s tweets also come after Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Tuesday that Republicans would see a “discussion draft” of healthcare legislation on Thursday.
McConnell said reporters will also be able to see the plan then, addressing complaints from Democrats that GOP leaders have kept the bill secret.
Trump often blasts Democrats, accusing them of obstruction and encouraging them to work with Republicans to accomplish policy goals.
