i heard they're not fighting it anymore also because they're becoming too big to just have a presence in states with tax breaks

Amazon might not be fighting the MA law, but other online retailers are because it essentially subjects every online retailer to the tax requirements even if they're a small shop in a single state across the country, and it's a pretty dicey legal position to take.

Among Republicans, Trump wouldn't bear the brunt of the blame if Congress is unable to repeal and replace Obamacare. Just 6 percent would blame him, and half said they would blame congressional Democrats. Another 20 percent said they would blame GOP lawmakers.

It is wrong to blame a minority party that doesn't have the ability to filibuster in this case for the majority's failure to pass a bill.

Eh to some extent. I'm sure you'd turn up similar numbers in late 2008 for self-identifying Republicans blaming Obama/Pelosi/Bill Clinton for the hosed up wars, Katrina, housing/global economic collapse

It's funny because Republicans are dumb and have total control of the government but are so bad (really so ideologically fractured) that they can't get poo poo done

thing with bush is he was just kinda dumb, so while a bunch of the stuff he did was funny everyone knew that underneath he was still a relatively normal and sane guy even though a lot of his policies were disastrous

trump however is 100% narcissistic personality disorder sexual predator traitor and he doesnt even try to hide it

the missing piece here is that only 50% of Republicans would blame democrats

in a base almost entirely driven by being frothing lunatics about the opposition those are some pretty interesting numbers
