Why Trump may dump House Republicans

So excited that they will amend it, as soon as it passes, right? No true 50 state solution for us, I suppose. Then again, Congress exempted themselves from Obamacare.

“The whole time they were nothing more than actors in the kabuki theater. They never expected their bluff to be called, DJT was not supposed to win. Hillary was supposed to be president, and they were supposed to be impressing us by sending her endless repeal bills that go nowhere.”

The second Obamacare lawsuit to reach the Supreme Court dealt with the interpretation of a very simple part of the law. The law said that ONLY states which set up their own exchanges would get federal money to reduce costs to the people they insured. The intent of that clause, as stated by Gruber, was to force states that wanted nothing to do with Obamacare (like Texas) to share in the nightmare. Obama simply ignored that clause and and sent the money anyway. Had he not sent the money, then the ‘insurance’ part of Obamacare simply would not have existed in states like Texas, and instead only the regulatory part (i.e., the part driving the costs through the roof).

So a simple enough lawsuit. Obama simply chose to follow his desired version of Obamacare, rather than what was mandated by law. Needless to say, the Supreme Court (once again) sided with Obama...so nothing changed.

With the law already in effect (this was 2015 or 2016), I wondered what the Republicans would have done if the Supreme Court had done the unthinkable and actually upheld the law as written, since millions would have been thrown off Obamacare overnight. The only answer I could come up with was exactly what is happening now, a Republican civil war, resulting in the Republicans simply ‘fixing’ the wording to match Obama’s version of the law. The Republicans were/are simply INCAPABLE of ending it outright, even when handed opportunities to do so.

The uniparty Republicans have one over-riding characteristic: they are lazy slobs at the trough. Not one of them understands the first thing about what it means to work. They are all low-energy Jebs. They want to sit on their fat asses and collect money from people who want to buy them. They’ve never done one second of real work for their constituents in their sick, sordid, embezzling careers. They are the lowest maggots of human existence. Fat pigs collecting money for nothing.

And like all psychotic criminals, they think themselves superior to everyone around them...regardless that they are the most inferior creatures ever spawned by the human organism. Their poster child is John McCain. No more worthless human trash has ever drawn breath.

Well said! McConnell, Ryan, McCain, Graham...the Mos Eisley Spaceport and the GOP Leadership cloakroom are practically interchangeable.

‘there’s no significant [Trump] wing in Congress.’

That’s because Trump works for us, and the Uniparty works for themselves and their Globalist/corporate enablers.

[Terry Mross]

Congress, yes. But appointed judges.

[Meet the New Boss]

As a result, there’s no significant Trumpist wing in Congress.

National Review peddles the gaslighting that "conservatism" means mass third-world immigration including from the Islamic world and open-borders trade agreements where our industry is free to relocate to other countries and sell back into the US.

Their anonymous big donors pay for this spin.

It's a semantic game. By defining "conservatism" in a way that stands for raping the USA, they try to influence politicians who want to be known as "conservatives" to favor letting the raping continue.
