What a joke.
His first piece of legislation is only furthering us along the path of Obamacare, the Freedom Caucus resists—and Trump decides with have to “fight” the few actual conservatives in Congress.
What is most galling is that the Never Trumpers are starting to look like they were correct all along.
You’re losing sight of the big picture. Keep attacking POTUS and you’ll get nothing conservative. The beltway GOP will seize the agenda and we will be SOL. Then a Democrat POTUS in 4 years. Understand?
Anyone who thinks Trump has EVER been a conservative on health care has not been listening.
He is conservative on the wall, on immigration, on jobs, on taxes, on defense, on school vouchers, etc.
But NEVER on health care. Not ever.
This should not be surprising.
So, the #nevertrumpers were right about healthcare, but not about most everything else.
Neil Gorsuch will be confirmed by the Senate last week.
Do you think that Jeb or Ted could have beaten Hillary?
I don’t.
They NEVER would have won MI, PA, WI, OH. Never.
So now what have we got? Obamacare continues.
Not certain if the FC was frozen out of any process or refused to participate on their own.
Republicans, on the whole, are completely out of excuses in terminating Obamacare. This party controls all three branches. No more “We don't control the Senate” or “Obama will just veto any bill”, not even mentioning that the Republican House controlled the purse strings for years and didn't do a thing to successfully defund this crap.
I truly don't care about ideological purity on this subject. All I see is many everyday citizens being hurt, while our supposed party continues to stall. Instead, the diversion is some absurd Russian hacking story (notice how many Republicans are participating in this nonsense?)
Obamacare has been a great campaign issue. Maybe that's all it ever was to Republicans. Given the current course, it won't even be that any longer.
If Obamacare remains the law, why would Republicans act on Illegal Immigration, Dodd/Frank, meaningful Tax Reform or Deficit Reduction? After all, these were also campaign promises.
The bureaucracy seems to still be calling the shots. It's now up to President Trump to do what he does best; Go directly to the American People in televised speeches. If he can sway the public, the historically spineless Republican party will act.
Trump is working with the army he has and not he army he wants.
You do the best you can, with what you have, where you are.
“Nevertrumpers were correct”
You think a Ted Cruz would have got a bill through? A Jeb Bush?
Would they have tried?
