But, you're dead on. A person has to be seriously heartless or messed up to identify as a republican today, or they come from long republican families and can't let go of that.

Does he honestly believe that his backroom wheeling & dealing is gonna end up benefiting the Greedy Ol' Perverts? Or does he know that they have the voting machines all sewn up in their pockets?

Or at all. Their opinions and positions are dictated to them by their corporate and billionaire owners/masters.

on a sinking ship.

They all bloated and gloated about killing the ACA, knowing damned well they had nothing to replace it with, and that whatever they did conjure up was going to be total shit. It didn't matter, because they were confident they were going to ram it through, and to hell with the American people. It was, is and always has been about a gigantic fuck you to President Obama.

If they do repeal it, it is going to screw over millions of people, and they get to drag around that tethered chicken for life. Gee, an awful lot of people have discovered that health care is nice, huh, Republicans?

If they don't, they look like what they are, ignorant blowhards.
