Tactics defeat policy every single time. Trump is president because he made extra trips to Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Had some message discipline his final 2-3 weeks.
Build the Wall. Repeal and Replace. Bring jobs back to those areas.
But he is president because of the tactics of THOSE AREAS.
Now he has the audacity to not be a politician and try to do what he promised his voters (who are not conservative, those states voted for Obama twice).
He promised them Repeal and Replace. Tactics overwhelm policy every time. He needs a bill crafted to get past the Senate, and have no doubt here, the Senate after this election is shaky. Nevada is a blue state now and we have a GOP senator up from there 2018. He can’t vote right wing. So of 52 you lose him for a hard core right wing bill. And Susan Collins, too. And Murkowski. And Flake, from a now wobbly Arizona that elected him with just 46% in 2012. He ain’t voting hard core right wing either.
So look at the Senate and craft your bill. Or hell, you can even craft your bill and look at the Senate.
As for putting forth a hardcore right wing bill, there should properly be quid pro quo. If the chambers decide to waste the time to do that, you have to agree to accept its failure and participate in crafting a bill that can pass. Because tactics are everything and it will take tactical genius to get through the Senate.
We should fight, then settle.
Who knows... we might even win.
But if we accept the premise that government should be running healthcare, we have already lost.
