. . . So congratulations goes to Donald Trump for "making" Obama release the long form of a document that was certified authentic and released three years ago.
And what did he accomplish?
Make the entire Republican party look like a bunch of buffoons just as the Republican party is getting to negotiate on the debt limit?
Or was it getting a Republican house vote on a bill that simultaneously eliminates Medicare while cutting taxes for the "wealthy"? Oh wait. . it was other Republican leaders that handed the democratic party their 2012 campaign platform.
Look. . .I have a pretty low opinion of Democrats. They are setting the bar for excellence so low that the Republicans literally have to DIG to get under it. . .but digging themselves into a hole is what they are doing.
Trump got the WH to respond because he was winning folks over in polling raising the question. Die hards either way were not moved but BO was losing or he wouldn't have responded. Trump elevated Trump and his show, he has no official ties nor has he bee elected by Republicans.
BO eliminated medicare with his health care plan by pulling billions out of a program going broke, double counting the money to pay for other peoples HC. The Ryan plan leaves near and current seniors on medicare as they know it. Younger folks, most of whom don't think the current plan will be there for them anyway, will be I a new voucher type program. The Dems will try to demagogue this by erroneously trying to pedal the falsehood Repubs will end medicare.
Most politicians only focus on the most important issue to them: re-election, closely followed by their lust for power and money. We probably agree on this one.
Good to exchange thoughts with you again, MM
