the Wall Street Journal pointed the finger at the multiple culprits within the Republican Party who “choked” when given a chance to finally replace the Affordable Care Act after seven years of trying to undermine it.

This is a major blow to the Trump Presidency, the GOP majority in Congress, and especially to the cause of reforming and limiting government,” the editorial stated before adding, “Republicans have campaigned for more than seven years on repealing and replacing ObamaCare, and they finally have a President ready to sign it. In the clutch they choked.”

“There will be no such repeal in this Congress, and probably not in any other. Republicans run the government and that means they are responsible for what happens in health care,” the editorial continued before getting to the root of the problem.

“Much of the current conservative establishment profits from fanning resentments, not governing. Legislative compromises don’t help Heritage Action raise money for its perpetual outrage machine. An earlier generation of leaders at Heritage understood that the goal of winning elections was to achieve something. The current leaders seem happy with failure.”
