What isn’t? ;-)
Trump is a master negotiator, what was rolled out yesterday “with full support” for Obamacare replacement was an opening bid. Now the real work begins, and Cruz as the proponent of “repeal every word” ought to be a part of that process. Rand Paul and others as well, “art of the deal”...
There’s also the Supreme Court to consider, and Cruz’s suitability for future openings. Could be a nice quid pro quo.
I reckon that most people will start to figure out how Trump really thinks and works a few months before his second inauguration.
From Shakespeare, the Roman character Brutus is speaking:
There is a tide in the affairs of men.
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.
Tides turn. Last year, it was ebb, this year, it is flow.
So I'm not betting this is about Obamacare.
When I saw the Breitbart pic of Caroline and Catherine playing on Melania’s lap last March, it gave it away. The ensuing playfight was pretty damned convincing, though.
As drafted its not going to pass the House.
No- last year was real- it was politics, it was dirty on all sides- this year is about grownups setting aside their personal feelings and working together to attempt to make America great again- that’s what adults do-
HOORAY Trump. WOOOHOOOO Cruz.
So what’s for dinner? Tacos - with Canadian bacon?
