If congressional Republicans don’t
get their $#!& together and pass something that repeals ObamaCare as
promised, or at least starts us down the road toward repealing ObamaCare, make
no mistake…
We, the people, are gonna blame CONGRESSIONAL
REPUBLICANS, not President Donald
Trump.
This will be a failure by the
legislative GOP, not the White House. They’ve had SEVEN YEARS to prepare
for this. And everybody knows it.
Two additional points…
1.) It ain’t over ‘til it’s over. Our president isn’t the author of “The Art of the Deal” for nothing. He – and any other successful negotiator – knows resolution of these things doesn’t even START until after the first deadline comes and goes.2.) Even if the deal does falls through, the fact is it’s Mr. Trump’s first time dealing with Congress – an ornery lot to be sure. The president will learn and live to fight another day. But again, that’s not necessarily true for congressional Republicans.
In 2005 the GOP held the White
House, the Senate and the House. And they
blew it. So in 2006 the Democrats won
both the Senate and the House, along with a majority of governorships and state
legislatures.
It’s déjà vu all over again. Republicans never blow an opportunity to blow
an opportunity.

P.S. Senate
Republican have the votes and the power (thank you, Harry Reid!) to break the
threatened Democrat filibuster of Neil Gorsuch’s appointment to the Supreme
Court by using the “nuclear option.”
But
there are serious doubts that they have the will and backbone.
I say again: The greatest threat and danger to the Trump
presidency isn’t the Democrats or the media, but his own Republicans.

NEVADA NEWS & VIEWS
Apparently Assemblywoman Jill Tolles (R-Reno) is putting out her own version of “fake news”
by telling people she didn’t have an appointment with me last Friday at 3:00
pm. For the record…I did.
Now I’m hearing that Ms. Tolles is telling people she
refused to meet with me because I showed up with brothel owner Dennis Hof. But that’s absurd.
First because Ms. Tolles was locked behind a closed door when we arrived and never even
saw us come into the outer office. And
secondly, the whole initial point of the meeting was for Mr. Hof to meet with
her about her prostitution bill!
That said…
Even if this was nothing more than a communication breakdown
(it wasn’t), good manners dictates that someone (preferably the elected
official) call or email Mr. Hof and me with either an explanation or,
preferably, an apology.
Instead, a week
later and nothing but radio silence and a tangled web of butt-covering deceit.
Bad form on top of a bad bill. And since Ms. Tolles refused to discuss the
merits of her prostitution bill with Mr. Hof in person, he’s published his
comments and observations on his blog.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“An MS-13 gang member from El Salvador is facing a possible life sentence after allegedly raping a 2-year-old girl, stabbing her mother, and stabbing another woman. The Salvadoran national, Tommy Vladim Alvarado-Ventura, 31, pleaded not guilty in a Hempstead, New York courtroom on Thursday. The judge ordered the four-time deported criminal alien held without bond, CBS News reported.” – Breitbart News, 3/24/17
