Not quick learners, are they?
No, they are. Remember Obamney Care? The Dims lost big so they just doubled down on it all while they still could! The “Establishment” has learned from the Dims (just as the Mexicans have learned from their early TX mistake with open borders).
Ok, they have not learned from the Dims how to defeat the Dims; they have learned from the Dims how to JOIN the Dims; and to hell with the base, the future of the country, the Constitution, freedom, security, etc. They can force this down our gullets against our will and feel good about it. Minitrue will praise them. The Dims will praise them. The rest of us don’t matter.
The establishment is as much the enemy as the dims are.
What are you smoking? They didn't lose anything, they won big time. They imposed socialized medicine on the country, it performed as poorly as it could, and now it's done. No one is even trying to repeal it, or change it. Along the way, they used it to turn the Supreme Court into a joke. They may lose a few seats in one election, but they don't care, they'll make it back, and now the U.S. has permanent socialized medicine, and conservative opposition to anything has been made a joke of. I can't imagine a bigger victory they could have.
