Rino care merely reflects the common understanding between Rino Republicans and Donald Trump that no entitlement, especially including healthcare, can be reformed. Worse, Trump has shown himself willing to enact new entitlements and add debt to a nation now $20 trillion in debt when there is every indication that interest rates are to rise. Unable to reform healthcare, unwilling to reform entitlements, eager to impose new entitlements on the taxpayer, in a rising interest environment, a schism in the party is not entirely unlikely.
Against that you cite an economy that is getting better and there are many indications that it is. But there are also threats. Rising interest rates would be devastating. Failure to enact tax cuts would be more than disappointing, it would trigger a re-evaluation of the market and change its entire psychology. The stock market might well be topping and that prop might become a liability. Heavy handedness of trade reform might well result in a recession or worse if a trade war ensues. The idea that the economy will march along a straight line toward ever better days belies history and we might consider whether a recession is simply overdue.
So we have on the one hand potential schism in the party because Trump is not made clear yet whether he is going to govern as a conservative or whether he is going to be an eclectic and because no one knows, repeat no one, where the economy is going.
Stop being negative jackass. It's annoying.
If a Republican in this district in Kansas loses, it is time to panic or at least rethink a lot of assumptions. So, no, I do not think as you evidently do that 9yearLurker is a jackass but I do find it annoying that you say so.
