“WASHINGTON ― Last month’s epic failure to deliver on their 7-year-old promise to repeal the Affordable Care Act is causing angst among GOP candidates up and down the ticket ahead of next year’s congressional midterm election.

While moderate Republicans like Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) and Susan Collins (Maine) are receiving warm adulation from constituents for opposing a bill that would have repealed Obamacare, other GOP lawmakers are facing attacks from their right flank over their handling of the health care debate.”

Good. I'm sick of the Republican Party, and I'm a registered Republican. The GOP needs a good fight. They got fat and happy with Obama in office, but when it came time to lead they punked out. A nice political bloodbath would be just the ticket. And if they lose power, screw 'em, then they never deserved to hold it anyway.

It appears that they are. But we only know what is told by the media and some first hand speaking out.
Years, decades of dirty politics and dirty deals is being compromised and called out by an outsider, President Trump.
Good!
There is bound to be turning on each other.

When Mitch McConnell whines that Trump has excessive expectations about legislation and they haven't done a stinkin' thing except get his nominees through, I have had it with those lawyer loafers. Unfortunately, I can't do a thing about it because Kentucky keeps sending McConnell to Capitol Hill and I don't live in Kentucky.

Being a Trump supporter I agree. They've proven themselves no different than your average politician (no surprise really), all talk and BS, no useful action, claim one thing, do another, same old same old.

A congress of cockroaches trying to find a corner to hide in when the spotlight is turned on them.

The status quo trying to survive and protect their self-enrichment policy's will sell out and sell anything to maintain their grip on power. They show a willingness to point a finger at anyone and we need to give them the finger they earn.

Old dogs won't change their ways. Many Americans are sick of the old politicians...Democrat or Republican. They just want to talk to themselves to death
