The Republican Party Is Catastrophically Broken

[HAB911]

The humiliating failure to repeal Obamacare reveals the GOP is not a national governing party–and Trump is a failure as president.

When the history of the fledgling, fumbling Trump presidency is written, the past week will go down as either the end of the beginning, or the beginning of the end. Trump’s disastrous week began with FBI director James Comey confirming that his campaign is under investigation for possible “coordination” with Russian officials to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy. It ended with the ominous slam of a door Friday night: House Speaker Paul Ryan pulling the monstrous American Health Care Act because he didn’t have the votes to pass it, admitting that the GOP’s seven-year crusade to repeal the Affordable Care Act is over.

1. If they're so broken, why do they have Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court?

Plus, the Rs own most of the state governments.

Seems more like the Democratic Party is showing some cracks.

If (when) the Dems are in charge of the Congress and White House, we will be examining the fractures among the Yellow and Blue Dogs (and other factions), who will also struggle to get things done. Especially if the Republicans still hold more than 40 seats in the Senate.

Of course, "Dems in charge" is a better problem to have.
