The Former Speaker said as much. They dont have an alternative that will work without going further to the left than Democrats did.

Wonder of wonders .. miracle of miracles.
Especially since Democrats simply double down as the "anti-Trump" party and dont have a real pro-worker message in the era of big money in politics.

Like it or not, the GOP has a message. Lower taxes, less regulations, more war spending, anti-worker, build a wall, being a front group for big business, lobbyists and special interests. Thats a message everyone recognizes.

Did anyone catch that Keith Ellison was seated next to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz?

Trump has repeatedly offered an olive branch to the Democrats and they have refused to take it. Their actions tonight made them look very small and petty. Not to mention un-American.

It's time to bury the hatchet and work together for the common good of the American citizen.

Just give us single payer health care, call it TrumpCare and all is well.

Once that's settled and everyone's happy, they can have the country forever, as far as I'm concerned.

They know more about the Democrats since they were smart enough to oppose Obamacare. Basically the left needs to sit down, shut up, and let the adults try and fix the mess the left and Obama made.
