End of the road? Who are you kidding. They will be reelected. They always are. Yes, we want them gone. The problem is WE don’t vote in those elections in those states.
They will not be voted out of office.
Nothing ever changes. This is all theatre.
“We tried REALLY hard to get something done. But we’re not going to stop until we do right for the American people... oh, excuse me, now. I’ve got to go shopping for my seventh house...”
I generally agree with you. There is a long history of transgressions leading to reelections. The GOP has successfully duped the base innumerable times and keeps getting rewarded for it. On that point, we agree.
But this time they have overplayed their hand and got called on it. They promised, over and over again to repeal Obamacare. They voted, over and over again to repeal Obamacare (when they knew it wouldn’t be signed). And they assured us they “had a plan”. Now their lies and deceit have been fully exposed and are spreading across social media like wildfire.
The Pubbies raised the profile of their “opposition” to Obamacare to the point where they now own it. This is an epic failure and breech of trust with the voters. I think voter resentment is running very deep and many will opt to vote for their primary opponents or just not vote at all.
This debacle will reverberate for years to come. And, while this is just one legislative item, it is going to be a precursor for many more failures to come. So the point is, you cannot look at the Obamacare fiasco in isolation. It will be later be seen to have been just the first in a long string of debacles and broken promises.
The Republicans will never be trusted again.
