"President Barack Obama got a major economic stimulus plan through in his first month."
GOP has nothing to fall back on after health care plan collapses
Repealing and replacing Obamacare was supposed to be the major achievement of President Donald Trump's first months. Now that that effort has collapsed, there's nothing obvious for Republicans to rally around.
What's particularly embarrassing for Republicans is that the party controls both the White House and Congress for the first time in 10 years. And the GOP has recent history on its side.
President Barack Obama got a major economic stimulus plan through in his first month. Presidents George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan won approval of big tax cuts in their first months in office, and President Bill Clinton signed a major deficit reduction package into law seven months after taking office.
Failing to pass a major health overhaul — the effort collapsed Monday night when two more GOP senators said they would oppose the latest effort — disrupted the Republican master plan to start with health care and use the momentum to rewrite the tax code and then address infrastructure or immigration.
