Doug is a relatively sober democrat, but even he cannot write an opinion piece without lying.
Fact - Trump passed tax cuts that benefit everyone and we are all enjoying the benefit now. It benefitted individuals on their taxes and it benefitted business that can employ more individuals with better wages ultimately in an economy that is growing. He lied in the article - period.
Fact - Trump is taking a lot of steps to fix healthcare across the board. Doug buys into the lie of Obamacare - only the government can make healthcare work. Trump believes that competition and a free market can make healthcare work even as we continue to cover those who cannot cover themselves. This was deceptive. The media is not really covering Trump and healthcare at all - no surprise.
Doug is in the same position Pat Caudell was in a few years ago. He needs to admit that his party has left him. He appears to recognize this, but he has not yet admitted it. It is the same realization make republicans faced a few years ago when they finally admitted that the Neo-con globalists and Chamber of Commerce had taken over the GOP.
Fortunately for the GOP power was taken back by the most unlikely of sources - DJT. The fact that Trump was able to win not only the primary, but the general election is still pretty miraculous when you think about where the GOP was. Sadly for Doug, the race to the far left appears to be the only recipe for the next democrat contender. He understands this, but he cannot admit that there is no real place for him in the democrat party currently. Doug may not live long enough for the pendulum to swing back as it surely will.
Is Pat Caudell still appearing on talk shows here and there?
Last time I saw him on Fox(?), he looked pretty wrung out.
Not the best of health.
I don’t have a TV and don’t watch full shows online.
I saw some Dem say ‘ if we take back the House, we will get rid of the short term health insurance policies that Trump allowed’. That’s right, fewer healthcare options for the citizenry!
