    Look on the bright side. Per Trump, it’s a win since most gopers were on board: “would have been 48-4. impressive by any standard”.

    Paraphrasing Dick Durbin, the GOP thinks a GOP President, Congress, and Supreme Court won’t be responsible for bringing down the healthcare system, if that’s what happens.
    .
    Trump, thinking he can take a page from the Bush playbook when the country gave a pass concerning 9/11, says he doesn’t own it. (Which given Trump is a veritable liar, is tantamount to Trump staking claim.)
    .
    Mr. President, you’re no George W. Bush.
    .
    Let that comparison sink in for a moment.

    “President Trump is the greatest thing that’s happened to this country. I consider it a Biblical miracle that he’s there.” recent words of GOP Alabama Senator Luther Strange.

    If this were really about the mandate, the primary focus of GOP proposals wouldn’t be focused on cutting Medicaid to fund tax cuts for the rich. Who knew that cutting hundreds of billions in health care spending on poor people to finance a huge tax cut for the rich would be more unpopular than the War on Women?
    .
    Three women GOP Senators, Collins, Murkowski and Capito, that’s who.
    .
    Make America Great Again—bring back rural white folks longevity and healthcare to that in the 1950’s.

    Seems the word of the year is accept the growth. I’m glad all of our schoolboard members and county commissioners all where elected as republicans. First the Dade County Commission says they are going to accept the growth, and now so does the school board. They raised them big time during the recesion and high gas taxes and now that property values are getting back to normal they are saying it’s growth. It’s not growth its home values starting to normalize. Many are still underemployed but hey they are just spending other peoples money. RINOS
