    But they got a “promise” on a vote later.

    I mean can you blame them? They dug their heels in and said we’re are only going to compromise if they give into our health care demands.

    The Republicans said no to this so the shutdown began. They were about to find a compromise, but suddenly the Republicans said no again (Trumpy wants to play replace Romney Care again)

    This is when you have to cave, when you don’t get what you want and nothing was resolved. After all, after 10+ years with nothing to replace it the Republicans have got to be allowed some more time.

      First of all, there are no Republicans. That was their larval stage, and they metamorphosed into their final form - MAGA.

      And they may not have a plan, but they have “concepts of a plan,” after 15 years, so in another 15 years, they may actually have improved to “potential steps to take to create a plan.”

      We can wait, nobody will need medical care before then, except those whiney Liberals, always crying about something. Let them suffer, MAGAs think that’s funny.

        You are right, there is only Maga now. All the the “traditional conservatives” still vote for Maga. So they are Maga now.

          Correct, ALL Republicans are now MAGAs. PedoCons is also an acceptable alternative, the way GOP has been a stand-in for Republican.

          So the proper modern nomenclature is now MAGA/PedoCon.

          Republicans should not be referred to, except in a scholarly, academic, historical context.

          That should be the official policy of the Democratic Party. Conservatives love being Republicans, they think its honorable, so take it away from them, and absolutely refuse to go back. Clearly they think it’s mean & funny to call the Democratic Party the Democrat Party, and make Dems all indignant (which is stupid on both sides, but it is what it is), so let’s give them a taste of their own medicine, and see how they like it.
