Gingrich: Gorsuch Appointment 'May Have Justified the Whole Presidential Campaign'
[PJ] WASHINGTON ‐ Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) warned that tax reform could face the same fate as Obamacare repeal if the White House and Congress do not focus on communicating effectively with the American people before crafting the legislation.

Gingrich said President Reagan learned that "you have to move the American people" to pass legislation but many Republicans today have not adopted the same approach.

"Look at this whole mess with Obamacare. For seven months the focus has been on the Congress, but in the end the Congress isn’t the key. The key is the American people. If we had spent as much time educating the American people and communicating with the American people and then writing a bill, which reflected what the American people told us, we would have passed Obamacare’s repeal with a bipartisan majority because people back home would have said, ’we want this new, better bill.’ We’re going to face the same challenge with the upcoming tax cuts," Gingrich said at the Young America’s Foundation national conservative student conference Tuesday.

#1 ....warned that tax reform could face the same fate as Obamacare repeal

Quite prescient of him. Of course it will "face the same fate." The dems are obstructionists to the core, but they may not have to lift a finger. Trump's own party's disloyalty may be enough to upend tax reform.

#2 The left will say but Trump/Gorsuch didn't really win anything, it is a hollow victory. It is like when HRC won the popular vote even though she didn't win the electoral vote (it looks more and more like she didn't win the popular vote either due to a corrupted vote).

Thanks to Harry Reid and his nuclear option, Gorsuch became a Supreme. What's hard to understand is how the Oz Cowardly Lion Pubs found enough courage to use this option. Whatever, Gorsuch is a good win. Trump (and we) needs a few more wins like this to keep the crooks/leftists at bay.
