Because they are morons who need to hurt people. Duh!
Because too much winning.
The essential truth about Republicans is they donât believe in government, donât believe the government can or should do things. In the end they seek to prove this belief at every opportunity even when theyâre the party in control. They need for the government to fail so they can shrink it and ultimately âdrown it in the bathtub.â
They have only been saying this since 1980, so are you just coming to this reality NOW?
Because they spent eight years flapping their jaws about it.
Theyâre like the bullies that taunt from behind the fence â take the fence away and suddenly theyâre exposed and not so tough anymore. But theyâll keep yelling over their shoulders as they run away.
I donât understand. All during the campaign, Trump told us he had a great plan to repeal and replace Obamacare. Now, he tells us heâs only been working on it for a few months. Itâs almost as if heâs full of shit.
RW media attention addicts. All this talk of 100 days ⌠all about Trump - limited attention for themselves in the spotlight. Solution? Itâs a flawed and highly likely to flail and fail, but letâs step into that limelight, look like weâre helping the Pres (maybe heâll throw us some shine instead of shade). Drama queens.
Oh sorry. Didnât mean to hog the bandwidth stating an old truth.
Why state the obvious?
as a poli sci major from the early '70s Iâm loving the lesson in governance that Repubs promised us if they had full controlâŚ
my take away so far is that this is the master plan for deflecting attention from the excellent winning and imminent defeat of ISIS among other thingsâŚ
more beer and pzza, please 
Iâm not sure why youâre being snippy with other people.
More good work on healthcare, TPM.
Well, if the Republican Party canât take away health care for babies and the elderly and the sick, what else do they have going on? Taking stuff away from the most vulnerable people is like the flagship store for Republicans.
When you demonize something for 7 years - Obamacare is a job-killing, too expensive, make the American people suffer, death panel deciding, government-run disaster - and say you have a great, simple, cheaper way of providing better health care if only youâll puy us in complete power ⌠well, you canât then very well say, âWeâll just leave this in place because we really donât have anything betterâ (even though you donât and never have). It would be like saying, âYouâve been suffering with that terrible disease thatâs killing you for 7 years, and I have a simple, cheap, wonderful cure right here in my hand that I can give you and have no reason not to give it to you. But, nope, you canât have it - I just canât bring myself to stop your suffering and cure you.â
Why? Stockholm Syndrome.
Too many bloggers write the known and obvious. Why? This dude writes the GOP hates government. Might as well write we breathe, or FDR created the New Deal. Get it?
If one has nothing to add, then whatâs the point?
Sorry you find it âsnippyâ but liberals wonât win if they donât move beyond the obvious.
What may be obvious to you is not obvious to everybody. We need to demonize the âConservativeâ and âRepublicanâ labels in the same way that they have demonized âLiberalâ and âDemocratâ labels. And the way to do that is through constant repetition.
Unfortunately, many liberals and Democrats are too nice to do such things.

[/quote]Exactly. For instance, take todayâs first comment.
" the latest round of hype signals a longer-term problem for the GOPâs approach to governance. As long as Republicans canât fully move on from Obamacare repeal, it stands to infect the other agenda items they seek to pass while they still have full control of Congress."
Iâm sure you remember the joke-- there are even even T-shirts:
Drinking problem?
I drink
I fall down
No problem!
I love that joke.
Not the one about the drunk.
The GOPâs inabilitiy to avoid making the same blunders over and over.
Rock on, morans.
