That is what I’ve been arguing. Actually, letting Obamacare fail was Trump’s first instinct. He said early on that he told Paul Ryan the BEST thing they could do politically was let Obamacare fail. It was a great idea because then they wouldn’t own the problems with it and the public would uniformly want it fixed. Instead, Trump took Paul Ryan’s advice and started with Obamacare when he wanted to start with taxes. The Republicans failed to deliver. Six months down the drain. In my opinion, he should have started with infrastructure (which would be bipartisan), then went to taxes, and when that was done, do Obamacare.
Is there anything even remotely resembling an infrastructure bill at this point?
Also, is there any actual need for an infrastructure bill? It would be very weird for the biggest legislative victory for this Republican Congress is massive renovations to JFK, LAX and O’Hare.
