THIS is how republicans operate.
Turn it over to the state then naturally the state can't handle it, can't afford it, and won't do it.
So you either live in a state with crappy insurance and millions not covered, or you live in California where most everyone has healthcare and affordable healthcare at that.
Some states won't even try.
It's not in their nature.
And other states, well one state like CA will devise a workable affordable system but none of the red states will dare copy or try to reproduce the blue state success.
Face it.
Reds simply don't care about people nor the poor nor the middle class.
They never have and they never will.
They fight Planned Parenthood, Unions, education, clean environments, safety on the job, and babies once removed from the mothers womb.
But what Reds are so good at doing is convincing the poor and the middle class that liberal and progressive is a dirty word.
And convincing the poor and middle class that it is better to be poor, healthcare-less, hurting, jobless, uneducated, reduced to trailer trash THEN blame the Muslims and Blacks for their downfall.
And how does one protect against Muslims and Blacks?
By building walls and pushing the NRA.
This "should be" a perfect storm.
Trump and republican policies on a path of self destruction.
The people finally waking up and realizing they've been had by Trump-ism.
People realizing that all the republicans really wanted was the US Supreme Court, and that was that. Even if they had to steal it. which they actually did.
This should be the perfect storm for the demise of republican policy however... people are ignorant.
They are fools and never see a con coming.
They fall for the logic of ignorance every time.
And it only gets worse, election after election.
The Trump kids, standing up there with their perfect white teeth and silky smooth white skin, convincing the ignorant voters that THEY CARE.
As if their Shet doesn't stink, they convince the ignorant that they are one of them. And the people eat it up.
Take the Trump rally of 4/29 in Philly.
Those poor saps sitting behind Donald as Donald pretends he is one of them.
Everyone knew why Trump refused to attend the Correspondence Dinner in Washington. Donald Trump is a wimp. Trump can't take criticism. Trump is like a little girl, and as thinned shinned as a little girl. And the poor saps standing behind Trump looking so poor they probably only came to the Trump rally because they couldn't afford to pay their electric bill and watch Trump at home on TV.
People looking so poor and so scraping the bottom of the barrel of hope, they go for the billionaire con artist feeding them line after line and bull after bull.
And they LOVE the guy......
America has reached a new low. As low as it can go.
And we have no knight in shining armor waiting to come to our rescue.
We will either be taken by the Soviets and the rule of communism i.e. freedom of speech, constitution, and individual rights ... or .... we will be nuked by an unholy foreign alliance yet to be determined.
And the latter will most likely be our destiny.
We fear North Korea, Putin, Iran, etc etc.
But the power that will eventually succeed with taking us out has yet to be determined.
And we won't know what the hell hit us once they do.
