Well, yes and no, I don't think that one is the President's fault.  Not having some kind of repeal plan, or replacement plan, or some kind of plan agreed upon in advance of the Presidential election is a failure of the Party.  The WSJ described it as a "monumental whiff."  Ryan came in as Speaker under tough circumstances, yet the House got something to forward to the Senate; yet McConnell couldn't get it done, despite his reputation as the consummate Master of Deals. I'm surprised that Ryan and McConnell couldn't come up with some pork to bribe a few Democrats into agreement. 

The GOP is seriously fractured. 

Why does the GOP need to have a replacement?

Yes that is what I meant.  It should have been ready to go, but nobody thought he would win.  So they had no plan.

No excuse.  The Reps should have had a plan ready to go for years.

They deserve a huge hit, and to have some people replaced, for not being ready.

There is no plan that will knock down medical care inusrance and care prices without the economy taking a hit.

If there was, we would have it already.

denials certainly add to the notion there is something to hide,.

Yes...naturally, when someone denies something they are obviously guilty. That's sound logic right there. The best thing they can do to prove their innocence is confess to something they didn't do :th:

It also helps a lot if you fire anyone pursuing a line of questions that you don't want to see answered. It also improves a good deal if your son, son-in-lwa, and campaign manager, having denied vehemently any contacts with Russia, suddenly have to admit having leaped at the opportunity to work with Russian intelligence for help in the election.

That's part of the argument, a legitimate one. You may be right or wrong.  However, no one elected to office wants to be caught thinking about that out loud.

The only issue of real note that has been fought over, to this point in the Trump Presidency, is Obamacare. That fight has eaten most of Congress' attention span, to date. 

Brian - do you think Congress has wasted more time discussing Obamacare or the various incarnations of the manufactured collusion story? :idea:
