Another ACA Repeal Fail -- Is The Zombie Finally Dead?
"Repeal and replace!" Since 2009, that's been the GOP's rallying cry in the Congress. They actually believe their slogan is a viable policy, and most of them believe it's what got them elected. But the majority of Americans approve of Obamacare, and overwhelming majorities prefer it to any replacement alternative the Republicans have come up with.
Orange John Boehner tried and failed to pass a repeal bill about a million times. After an initial fail, on his second try Paulie Smallnuts Ryan -- or as Steve Bannon calls him, that "limp-dicked mofo" -- passed a repeal bill in his GOP House which then failed to pass the GOP-controlled Senate. Mitch McConnell whipped up a quickie Senate version which also failed to pass in his own Senate. Then the Kentucky Tortoise went for a long-shot repeal-only abomination which failed immediately! Didn't even last a day. Hilarious incompetence! And well-deserved failure. The repeal zombie may finally be dead.
After all this Republican failure, Donnie Distemper accepted no responsibility and blamed it all on the obstructionist Democrats -- "We're not going to own it. I'm not going to own it. Republicans aren't going to own it." -- and proclaimed he'd just "let Obamacare fail" and would then expect Democrats to come crawling, begging him for help.
Good luck with that skeevy plan, Don. The "failing Obamacare" narrative is dubious, and if you believe the American public will idly stand by as you sabotage the ACA, you're even dumber than you look.
