The base will celebrate the Trump/Schumer Single Payer Act of 2018.
I think Dems play the long game better than Republicans. In the last ten years, they’ve lost a ton of seats but completely moved the conversation of healthcare, gay rights, and a host of other issues far to the Left.
We are now debating over how big the Medicaid expansion needs to be and whether Transgenders should get their surgeries paid by the government.
This was not the debate in 2007.
Sigh. You may be right.....
I think Dems play the long game better than Republicans.
The Dems play the long game because they never stop fighting. “True Conservatives”, OTOH, are happy to run up the white flag after only a few months.
Where is conservative lion Ted Cruz these days? Not on the Senate floor calling out McConnell for being a “liar” for not repealing obamacare “root and branch” and demanding the government be shut down until the wall is funded, etc. Apparently, McConnell is only a “liar” when Saint Rafael of Goldman is running for POTUS.
We’ve had nothing but garbage coming out of the GOP Congress for 9 months. And you can thank GOP plantation conservatives for their “contributions” to this historic missed opportunity for conservatism.
“I think Dems play the long game better than Republicans.”
They absolutely do.
They are true believers in the inevitable success of socialism. They have been working for it since the 1930’s or longer. They have finally weeded out any moderates that may have waffled and slowed their progress.
They eat, sleep and breathe The Great Cause.
The GOPE is bought and paid for by the various lobbyists. They may or may not be New World Order believers but will vote however their paymasters tell them to.
They do not understand long term strategy and tactics nor do they care to. As long as they get their payday and perqs they are happy as hogs in a mud puddle. And about as intelligent.
Conservatives have to do what the democrats have done: spend decades following a long slow strategy of removing any politician who does not work for We The People.
We have options.
1. We can let them die off (John McCain, McTurtle) and we replace them.
2. We can primary their butts and replace them.
3. The nuclear (Paul Ryan) option. Vote for the democrat just to get them gone.
Whatever we do we must realise it will be a long and slow process to reverse the damage done by the left for generations.
This is political warfare, not some one strike home by Christmas operation.
This is a war that will be waged by our children and grandchildren.
We may Not live to see the final outcome but we have to stick to a strategy for future generations to have a fighting chance.
POTUS Trump is not the man who will singlehandedly win our political war.
He is our Dan Morgan, our Stonewall Jackson, our George Patton. He can stop the advancement of the leftists and even turn the tide of the battle and make tremendous gains.
It is up to US to win the war with a long term strategy and an unflinching eye on the prize.
We use our enemies tactics against them.
