So far, no one else has cosigned. No one will touch it. By their fruits you shall know them.

At some point this will bite the republicans as they don’t do what they say, only the freedom caucus has demonstrated a willing commitment to push against the aca, the crony chamber of commerce seems to own the rest.

Is it Trump? Is it Ryan? Did they reach out to the Democrats? Its all a big mystery.

I say this was a failure, and when you look at failure you must always look to the top for their lack of basic understanding of what needs to be accomplished and how to get it done and so they “outsource” (Trump) it to those who “Know” (Ryan).

The straight truth seems to be that Trump, for what ever reason, forgot how he became president. The Conservatives that exist within his party and the conscious and reasonable people of America who voted for him and them are outraged at the corruption and perversion that is our government and put him there. The media is unable to see this though.

All the media are mainly talking about is that Trump did not reach out to the Democrats, but the last I checked the Republicans had all of the votes they needed in both houses and at the executive level to accomplish what was needed. So to me Trump should have been conferencing with the Conservatives and reasonable Democrats (they do exist) to see what compromises might be had in order that they vote as needed. Are the Republicans going to be stymied again by there need to pander to the Democrats on Gorsuch? I suspect not.

And that leads me to coming to the conclusion, this is either rookie mistakes or purposeful stupidity or some combination of the two. In the end I remind myself of basic S.O.M. theory and I really trust none of them, anything for the acquisition or retention of power. ANYTHING.

In the end Trump pays the price and so it is in his court to lead, the finger points directly at him and this low accomplishment standard that has been fashioned is not acceptable. I point out once again, if Trump sits in his office and is jammed up for 4 years, that’s all good to me, he has already accomplished his main task, deny Hillary the presidency.

This is not rocket science, and if it were rocket science nothing would ever leave the ground.

The right (in theory) believes in individualism and creative solutions. A such, it gathers supporters who defy group-think. The left, on the other hand, in their push toward socialist policies, embody group think.
