I couldn’t agree more that the entire repeal effort was bungled
I think though, with all due respect to the President (because make no mistake I’ve been largely pleased with his performance up to this point even though I have t said so) we should have the guts to lay at least part of the blame for the bungling on him!
He’s the President for goodness sakes. He should have said to Ryan, “don’t come to me until you have worked out an agreement with the FC and any other objectors. Work it out in private so the Marxist press doesn’t make hay over your infighting and then we’ll bring it to the public”
That is NOT what he did. He aligned himself early on with Ryan and the other CINO’s and basically told the FC to stuff it. Trying to play a numbers game in his “art of the deal” basically attempting to string arm the FC into submission.
And he’s still doing that now with this tweet!! It’s inexcusable and any spin or apologetic for him at this point is delusional. He needs to press the reset button on this work out a deal with the FC behind closed doors and then present it to the public.
This attack on the FC is literally biting the hand that fed him the victory in November and if he continues with this madness we will deserve Hillary (or Warren or whoever) in 2020. Because Blue Collar Democrats and their populist agenda isn’t going to save this country (if it even can be saved at this point I’m not even sure of that)
But if it can only true CONSERVATISM can and will save it. Not some populist purple coalition!
I agree with every single word of your post.
A perfect summation of the situation.
Goodnight!
I expect Trump’s first year to be a lot of trial and error, and he learns who to trust, and not to trust. I’ll give him a pass for his first year, that’s to be expected with someone who has never held political office before.

Speak for yourself.
You people try to play cute like you are the ones that won Penn, Mich, and Wiss all by your lonesome and just see how quickly this power trip vanishes.
6 months ago the HFC, and their big mouth fans were just sitting around shaking their fists while Obama told them to royally F-off.
You guys may want to turn over the government back over to those people, but the majority that voted for Trump are not interested in your drama act.
