President Trump's words, tweets and professed intents concerning Mitch McConnell's inability to get Obamacare repeal and replace legislation passed are either out-and-out lies or based on a lie!
That's a very hard statement I know but one doesn't have to know President Trump personally or be privy to all of the back-room negotiations to make this statement. Anyone without a pro-Trump bias so strong that it in effect blocks out pertinent facts available to all of us should be able to see this. One might say that this is just politics and they would be correct but it doesn't take away from my first sentence.
Here it is. The word repeal has a definition as does the word replace. This past March, Paul Ryan came forward with a bill concerning health care. He proudly said that it was repealing and replacing Obamacare. It didn't do either. It wasn't even close. The bill needed to pass the full House. Everyone in the House knew that this bill was not repeal and replacement but establishment elites and a few conservatives signed onto it. So far so good for Paul Ryan and President Trump.
A small contingent in the House of Representatives who were also members of the Freedom Caucus called the scam bill for it was and would not support it. This got President Trump real mad. Trump then did what he often does. He acted impatiently, lost his temper, and threatened the only truly conservative members of the House that we have.
Folks.....folks.....think this through. There are good guys and there are bad guys in our congress....and the good guys are greatly outnumbered. President Trump, who was put in office because of the 'good guys' everywhere....in a fit of anger.... actually threatened the few good guys in our congress that we have. Surely you've seen enough westerns and mobster movies to realize that only the very bad guys turn on who were supposed to be their friends.
President Trump since then has taken the tact...very publicly...that the Republican Congress has let him down by not giving him an Obamacare repeal and replacement bill. This when he not only would have gladly signed the repeal and replace scam bill from March but told us that he was keeping his promise.
Anyone who knows anything about Donald Trump knows that he has been vindictive most of his adult life. He's admitted to this. He'll wait and wait...never forget...and if given the chance he will get back at the person that originally got on his bad side. Folks...this is not good. This is a character flaw that will be in the president that has to deal with issues such as North Korea and Iran.
I was listening to a certain conservative radio talk show host today....I won't mention his name because I only heard half of his remarks....but in those remarks he stated that he doesn't agree with President Trump on the Luther Strange endorsement....but he was intent on overlooking it because we need President Trump on so many other things. This is a perfectly logical statement....and I see his reasoning....and that reasoning could also be applied to the Obamacare repeal and replace fiasco.....but what you cannot do, in my opinion, is deny President Trump's gleeful efforts in promoting the Obamacare repeal and replace scam bill as a genuine Obamacare repeal and replace bill...thereby turning on the very people who put him in office! This flawed trait would then be given free rein in everything that President Trump says and does.
He has since continued with the line that he is trying his best to repeal and replace Obamacare. He's even doubled-down on it a few times. I want to reiterate here that this is the same man with the same serious character flaw that will send our military in harm's way....who will deal with things such as global warming....and who will make deals with foreign leaders. If nothing else our scrutiny of his words should have been enhanced....but this has not been the case.
What transpired in the month of March is not picayune. President Trump has apparently won on this issue for it seems that most conservatives actually believe what he is saying and tweeting but I would remind them that we....those who labored for years against the tyranny of the establishment elites....we did not give up truth and ethics then.....and to do so now......would neither help our original cause nor would it even help President Trump. It would but enable him to continue with the very unbecoming art of the deal.
STRANGE ENDORSEMENT
That Rush Limbaugh would happen to read my email at....ELRushbo@EIBnet.us....is slim but it's an opportunity to vent a little if nothing else. I sent him this mail yesterday at 9:27 AM..."Rush, what's your thoughts on President Trump's 'complete and total endorsement' of Luther Strange who also has Mitch McConnell's and Karl Rove's complete and total endorsement?" I listened to all three hours which is not easy considering his show and his discernment have declined greatly since his mission has become...'defend Donald Trump at all costs...no matter what he does.' He should not have needed a reminder from me or anyone else to bring up the Strange endorsement.
I then sent this mail after his show...."So you couldn't even give a comment on President Trump's endorsing McConnell's and Rove's candidate Luther Strange? It looks like the President's threat to the Freedom Caucus was real. You bark about the Democrats not mentioning inconvenient news but just did the same exact thing! Message to the president..."do what you want to conservatives...the biggest dog on the block is old and toothless."
Mark Levin dealt with the issue as it should have been dealt with. He spent an hour defending President Trump for his tough stand against North Korea's very real potential of nuking our nation! He then spent nearly an hour calling out President Trump for stabbing conservatives in America in the back with the Luther Strange endorsement. The following is my post from this morning:
President Trump this morning tweeted his "complete and total endorsement" for Luther Strange which highlights this upcoming Alabama senate primary as not only a very clear choice between either Roy Moore or Mo Brooks...and the establishment candidate Luther Strange....but a genuine litmus test....at least in Alabama.... on where conservatives are at as to President Trump's strange fascination with swamp creatures.
Alabama's Republican Governor Robert Bentley appointed then Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange to fill the seat of resigning Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions after he was confirmed in February by the United States Senate as United States Attorney General.
The now Senator Strange will hold that seat at least until a special election is held in December after Republicans pick a nominee. It's not expected that any of the nine Republican candidates will garner 50% of the vote next Tuesday, so a runoff will most likely be necessary. Mitch McConnell's super PAC is all-out for Strange while Karl Rove is reported to have said...."We're in for Luther....money, marbles or chalk."
Everyone is familiar with Judge Roy Moore. He was removed from his position as Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court by the Alabama Court of the Judiciary in 2003 after he refused to take down a monument of the Ten Commandments. The people elected him again in 2013 to the same position but he later resigned after being suspended for continuing to enforce Alabama's by then court overturned ban on same-sex marriage. Popular conservative Chuck Norris is supporting him in the primary.
Also in the race is Mo Brooks....a House Freedom Caucus congressman from Alabama's 5th congressional district who has the support of Mark Levin and Sean Hannity. Could President Trump's endorsement of Luther Strange have anything to do with his infamous tweet from March 30th..."The Freedom Caucus will hurt the entire Republican agenda if they don't get on the team & fast. We must fight them, & Dems, in 2018!"
Note: President Trump's tweets have recently shifted from fake news to Mitch McConnell. This is a diversionary tactic that he uses often. After a few days of softening up conservatives he drops the bombshell of his support for McConnell's super PAC candidate.
