<<I wouldn't use the word, blame. But the situation was definitely triggered by his antics. It was terrible timing. In the absence of Trump, I think that a mitigation if not correction of the college situation would have ensued.>>

Newsworthy events are always triggered by something. In this case it was triggered by someone half the country despises. But that's the very kind of situation that really puts the character of a nation to the test. The support for the Constitution should be coming from that very half of the country.

Not just Trump voters.

There's another type of blame going around that I find curious and a little unsettling. I've heard numerous pundits on TV and many posters on SI seemingly try to blame the failure of Obamacare on the fact that Republicans didn't get involved in the process. Actually, I believe they did try to have input in the early stages. But even if they didn't and just refused to make any effort or contribution, where is it written that they should have. If they didn't want the healthcare system changed, it's their prerogative to sit back and let the Democrats have at it.
