Do they even have a workable agenda? |
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is the Majority Leader of the Senate. He is by far the most corrupt lawmaker in Washington. He is a dirty politician and masterful agitator. He has been fixture in Washington for over 30 years.
Being a part of Washington, DC is a curse for Republicans. They often beeyotch and bemoan about how the "swamp needs to be drained." McConnell is now under fire for his leadership. Trump wasn't happy about the Senate's pulling of the Better Health Reconciliation Act, the senate's version of the House's passed American Health Care Act.
Trump went to social media to attack Democrats for not helping push the Republicans across the finish line. It's unfortunate that Republicans did it behind the closed doors without Democrats help.
They could have at least got some support from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) and Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT).
The Senate must go to a 51 vote majority instead of current 60 votes. Even parts of full Repeal need 60. 8 Dems control Senate. Crazy!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2017
With only a very small majority, the Republicans in the House & Senate need more victories next year since Dems totally obstruct, no votes!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2017
As I have always said, let ObamaCare fail and then come together and do a great healthcare plan. Stay tuned!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2017
We were let down by all of the Democrats and a few Republicans. Most Republicans were loyal, terrific & worked really hard. We will return!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2017
Republicans should just REPEAL failing ObamaCare now & work on a new Healthcare Plan that will start from a clean slate. Dems will join in!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 18, 2017
The Republicans are in such disarray.
The Republicans have pledge to "repeal and replace Obamacare." Their pledge to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act has failed.
Republicans are now desperate to pass anything. McConnell is signalling just a full repeal without a replacement.
The junk food media says that the potential to outright repeal the bill without a suitable replacement is a "hail Mary."
The Republicans continue to blame Barack Obama and the Democrats for their failure to pass legislation. With a Republican controlled Congress, the leader, and state governorships, they've proven to be failures at their jobs.
There are protests this week in regards to the Republican health care bill.
