“Promise made, promise broken. Once again, Senate Republican ‘leadership’ has demonstrated that its promises are meaningless. Today’s announcement that Republican Senators will quit before voting on a plan to repeal even SOME portions of ObamaCare is just the latest in a string of failures. When ObamaCare was enacted in 2010, Republicans on both sides of Capitol Hill vowed to repeal every word of President Obama’s government takeover of our healthcare system. It became their rallying cry in election cycle after election cycle. When the American people gave Republicans the House majority after winning the 2010 midterms on the promise of ObamaCare repeal, the people were told ‘We can’t do it with just the House, we need a majority in the Senate to get the job done.’ In 2014, Republicans running for Senate repeated those promises, and were handed a Senate majority. Then they proceeded to tell the American people, ‘We can’t do it with just the Congress, we need the White House, too.’ In 2016, the American people did their part yet again, and delivered Republicans the White House. Now, with total control of the executive and legislative branches, the Republican Senate majority cannot even pass a bill that only repeals a portion of ObamaCare. The American people have a simple message for promise-breaking politicians: If you can’t keep your word, we will find someone else who will.”

Note: Rand Paul probably did vote against the CRs. But he kept it very low key and quiet, so as not to embarrass Obama or his swamp masters. I.e.: he only makes it a big public issue when he’s preventing the dismantling of any part of Obamacare.
Republicans are terrified of the MSM, and terrified of Trump because he isn’t.
The ‘leadership’ of the GOP House and Senate have to be replaced, totally ineffective.
Less probable than discovery of the Holy Grail: <>If you can’t keep your word, we will find someone else who will.<>
