I agree. Which is fine by me as that will just cause more people who voted for Trump to become election bystanders next time out.

It's really too bad the dems buckled and they have the ACA rather than full single payer healthcare. Always have to chuckle that the thing people freak out about getting cut are the socialized aspects of the US system but they can't connect the dots and move forward...

The public needs to remain vocal so that it forces these buffoons to govern from the center which is how the system is set up to work. If only the politicians could get that through their head. IT's not about putting forth your ideology and winning 100% of the time...it's about putting forth your ideology and combing it with all the other viewpoints so in the end you have likely done the greater good for the bulk of the population concerned with that issue.
