Trumps words
"We had no Democrat support. We had no votes from the Democrats. They weren't going to give us a single vote, so it's a very very difficult thing to do," Trump said. "I think the losers are (House Minority Leader) Nancy Pelosi and (Senate Minority Leader) Chuck Schumer because now they own Obamacare. 100% own it."
Gee I wonder why they don't have any Democrat support. With their system of only bringing bills to the floor that a majority of their caucus supports.
The House is called the House of Representatives not the House of Republicans. If they want to pass a bill then they need to look to the CENTER. Not the right of center only. That's what has caused the do nothing Congresses for the last forever.
And the administration itself. When you surround yourself with the rightest of right people, you're not going to see a whole lot of support from those on the left. This administration is a moderate's nightmare. There's absolutely not a single person put in charge of the departments that don't reek of alt right crap.
In the House, Bills should target the moderate democrats to the moderate republicans. Ands then hope for support to come from the Democrats and Republicans.
Of course since the fanatical tea party has sent the moderate republicans packing its hard to find moderate republicans.
And after this last election I'm sure the moderate democrats will be next.
