White House looks to regain health care offensive, trashes CBO

[Zorro]

President Trump and Republicans in Congress tried to regain the initiative Wednesday in the battle over health care, seeking to recover from the withering criticism of their rollout of a replacement for Obamacare.

To that end, they went after the Congressional Budget Office, which is still days away from releasing its analysis of the Republican bill.

“If you’re looking at the CBO for accuracy, you’re looking in the wrong place,” White House press secretary Sean Spicer said during Wednesday’s briefing with reporters.

Piling on, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., dismissed the CBO as “unelected bureaucrats.”

Facts and reality are anathemas to Republicans.

1. If you believe them, you deserve the shit they're dropping on your head.

For years, the GOP has mastered the lie. Now they've got the Master of Lies in the White House. We all should know that.

Assume the lie first.

2. This line of attack is insane to me

It makes zero sense. The report has not been generated yet but they are so sure the numbers will not be in their favor they are shooting the messenger.


Here is the problem with that: MATH DOES NOT HAVE A BIAS.

You can trash the people but math does not lie.

4. Eventually there will be no one left to trash.

Then they will have to own their fail.

Or, just make up someone to blame. Hey, wait...

3. this is the trump tactic...if anyone is poised to criticize you, you attack first. delegitimize them
