Jennifer Rubin: How to make GOP candidates squirm in 2018

By early March, we will already be in the midst of midterm primary races. Republican incumbents who tried to minimize their public interactions with large groups of constituents for fear of being verbally mauled by voters irate over their positions on health care or taxes or over their cheerleading for President Donald Trump will have no choice but to come out of hiding. Sen. Susan Collins, for instance, is not even on the ballot in 2018, but if the protests at her Maine offices are any indication, Republicans will find it hard to hide from their constituents and to dampen voter anger.
