I'm not saying it's going to be effective. I just don't think it's a coincidence that Trump decided to have his big "reveal" at the exact moment people in wheelchairs are getting hauled out of McConnell's office. This isn't like one of his 12 am fugue state ramblings.

It's just beyond my understanding how the republicans are being so blatant about loving over old people. Usually its all about wrecking the future for the young but this time they seem to want to actively hurt their own voting base. Do they just not care anymore?

evilweasel posted:fixing stuff requires legislation, which means in 2018-2020 you need trump's signature, but you can potentially get that in other ways: put in small riders in the budget to postpone stuff/ameliorate it/etc and dare him to shut down the government over it (the Republicans did that to some aspects of Obamacare, small sabotages that managed to make it into law). you're not getting a veto-proof majority, of course. Honestly, one of the few positive points about Donald Trump being Donald Trump is that if we somehow take the Senate in 2018 we might be able to get him to sign most Democratic legislation because he has literally no ideology more coherent than "Trump good". He'd probably love to talk about how bipartisan he is and how good he is at making deals with Democrats.

Better the grandmas die on the Dem's watch is probably their thinking. it's a gamble they might take, yeah. But it's not exactly a safe one and anyone who is saying it'll definitely work is either a sycophant or needs to chill out from the political news for a while, go climb a hill, and breathe some fresh air.
