Colossal GOP failure and not just on health. Why aren't bills on infrastructure, tax reform and free speech lined up like planes on a runway? Glen Reynolds

#1 The pubs live in a beltway bubble where they reckoned nothing would ever change. Consequently they went about each day, collecting their paychecks, with their thumbs securely planted up their collective arses. Now that change has finally come, they're in denial or participating (along with the dems) in the active resistance.

Trump was right, they are all cowardly and inept.

#2 Repeal of Obamacare should have been a slam dunk. During the past 8 years, Ryan and others said they had a replacement plan ready to go. Doesn't seem they had much of a replacement plan ready to go. We would have been better off with a pre-Obamacare reset. It is hard to give people something even though it's p!ss-poor and then take it away. It was oversold and fraudulent from the beginning.

Trump has been busy making appointments, rolling back much of the accumulated crap during his first couple of months and fighting brush fires set by the Progs. and RINOs. The Senate and House have been AWOL. The House and Senate leadership is sorely wanting and ought to be replaced with someone who can lead.

#3 The House and Senate ~~leadership~~ is sorely wanting and ought to be replaced with someone ~~who can lead~~.

First time forever the Republicans have a majority everywhere and I already want them replaced.

#4 This is why no one likes the RINOs. They have one chance in 20 years to make things right. And they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Again.

The entire leadership needs to be fired, shipped to Somalia and the RNC needs to bring in people that will get fucking shit done. Otherwise they Pubes will be a minority party by 2018.

#5 Their existence to this point has been useless. Even worse than worthless.

This should have been ready before he took office - stacked like cordswood on his desk.

#6 Washington establishment republicans are delusional. With everything that has happened to them they still think passing the conservative agenda will prevent their re election. When in reality not passing it will guarantee they lose. Just ask Eric Cantor, Jeb Bush.....

#7 RINOs are just like Dems as far as the graft machine and inner party politics go They don't want to repeal O'care cause that will shut off a major graft valve. They only fight Dems on these issues to realign the hands on the levers NOT the levers or the flow.

#8 Because planes line up on taxiways?

Congressional crapbags rely upon the inertial laziness of the electorate and resist any changes that touch "entitlements."

And math is hard.

#9 They told us they couldn't do anything without the House. So we gave them the House.
Then they told us they couldn't do anything without the Senate. So we gave them the Senate.
Then they told us they needed the presidency too. So we gave them the presidency.

Turns out they never intended to do anything ever.

#10 #5 Their existence to this point has been ~~useless~~ inimical.
