I just learned that Donald Trump is proposing cuts in Medicaid.

We need to ask low income social conservatives what is important to them. Being able to pay their medical bills or being concerned about Donald and Michael getting Married? We should also remind them that they are losing medicaid benefits to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

Can Democrats do to Paul Ryan-WI in 2018 what Republicans did to Tom Foley-WA in 1994?

In 1994- Then Democratic Speaker of the US House Tom Foley narrowly lost re-election to George Nethercutt because of the Republican wave and also because Foley opposed the Term Limits initiative in 1992 which was approved by majority of the voters in WA. Nethercutt promised to serve 3 terms but ran for re-election in 2000 and 2002, In 2004 he ran for the US Senate against Patty Murphy and lost by a double digit margin.
Paul Ryan-WI represents a +5R District and it was previously held Les Aspin/Peter Barca before the 1994 midterm elections.
