Republicans do talking points, sound bites. Democrats do policy, bills. It's not fair.

One would think the Republicans would pay a heavy price for this in elections. They do not because their voters are some of the most ignorant people on the planet. Self inflicted ignorance. They believe Rush and Fox are the news.

Democrats will spend months working on a healthcare bill like Obamacare. When Republicans work on a Healthcare bill it takes days. It will be a few pages. No one can sue doctors or insurance companies. That will bring down costs. All insurance companies can offer cheap worthless plans. You can get insurance across state lines. Then they tell their ignorant voters this will solve the healthcare crisis.

Republicans are deep thinkers, move over Einstein.

Then the Republicans are free to spend all their time attacking the Democrats healthcare Plan that took months of work.

It is the same with immigration. Democrats will spend months on a decent bill to fix the problem. Republicans immigration bill will be very short. Build a Wall. That will solve the problem. That leaves them to use all their time to attack the Democrats plan.

Look at the Iran deal. Obama , Kerry and others spent years working on that. Trump , Republicans said we don't like that. It's bad. In one day they destroyed it.

Sometimes life really sucks. Republicans make life suck.
