All 3 finalists for the presidency last year -- Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and Bernie Sanders (or their campaigns) -- have been or are being investigated by the FBI. So clearly the American voter did some expert vetting there. Republicans announced over the weekend they're keeping the Obamacare mandates we went to the Supreme Court to fight. Which means they're now keeping all the key mandates and regulations of Obamacare, which means they're keeping Obamacare. [ Trumpublicans are cheering over this??? This will be a win? ] Since it's pulling teeth to get the GOP to defund Planned Parenthood, about the only thing left the two parties truly disagree on is environmental regulations and how much money you can make to get a tax cut. Republicans say$150,000 or lower is middle class. Democrats say $250,000 or lower typically. Even on foreign policy, there's a lot of tough talk on the Right but they're not that much different there. Trump gave a phenomenal speech in Saudi Arabia, and has literally done nothing in 6 weeks to follow up. Other than he and his Secretary of State can't agree on what our view on Qatar is. If you thought 2016 was bad, just wait for a 2018 election between a party embracing cultural Marxism and one that broke a 9-year promise to the American people. This town needs an enema. Steve Deace Dave Weigel Retweeted Dave WeigelOn Fox daytime there's basically zero discussion of what's in the HC bill. It's about whether Trump can win.[ Trump and his supporters don't care about any policy ... they just want something they can CLAIM is a Trump win. I said before the election liberals should vote for Trump because he would get Republicans to vote for Democratic policies and it's literally becoming true. If Trump and the Republicans could get 100% socialized healthcare passed, Trumpers WOULD support it. Enthusiastically. ] Steve Deace Trump admits on Fox News this morning he called the House GOP healthcare bill he championed and celebrated at a Rose Garden ceremony "mean."[ Yes, the bill Trump is pushing as a WIN he says is mean and doesn't have heart. Republicans, stupid enough to choose a leader that defames them. ] TJ Epting I love too how the GOP elites started saying "It's been a promise for (insert number of years) to repeal and replace obamacare." When in reality, none of them promised replace until recently, and I don't know many conservatives who were wanting a replacement. Just a straight repeal. Why can't we get more Mike Lee's, Rand Paul's and Ted Cruz's in the senate? Those types of people are out there, they just need to run for office. [ They ran, Republicans, while claiming to be conservative, actually are even worse enemies of conservatism. ] Christin Price The worst part is, I don't think most voters actually care. It doesn't seem to make an iota of difference if R's implement the exact same policies that D's want, because 'our' side is the one that won. Frankly, until people start caring about principles again things will only continue to spiral downward. Daniel Horowitz ? @RMConservative So after keeping regs, subsidies, and Medicaid expansion, GOP bill now keeps the mandate. 100% Obamacare t.co Matthew Davis Seriously, outside of Cruz, Paul, and Lee in the Senate and maybe 20 or so in the House, what's the point in voting for Republicans? The lesser of two evils argument simply means that we lose more slowly. It does not equate to actual winning.
