THROW THE BUMS OUT, IF THEY CAN'T WORK TOGETHER.

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

On July 17, 2017, two Republican senators refused to back the Republican  health care bill. Senators Mike Lee, from Utah, and Jerry Moran, from Kansas. They  colluded and conspired between themselves to deep six and torpedo the health care bill. Neither of  the two men had the guts to be the third "no" vote to join Senators Collins and Paul. So, they connived, and decided to come out together, rather than  face the pressure of the single person to oppose the plan.

Now, July 18, 2017, an additional two Senators, Murkowski, from Alaska, and  Moore, from West Virginia,  jumped ship also. Senator Collins from Maine  also joined these two senators today, to say she would not back the bill also, but  she has previously stated that.

Now, the health care bill is in shambles. Once senators Lee and Moran said they would vote "no",  other senators made the decision to scuttle the bill.

It appears these  two, weak, spineless senators, Lee and Moran, who chose to do damage to the presidency and the administration, brought out the colors of the other weak-kneed, do nothing senators who appear to want to de-ligitimatize  president Trump.

These Republican lawmakers told us citizens SEVEN YEARS ago that they actually had a  plan in place to repeal and replace Obamacare . It was up and ready to go, according to them. They said, just put us in office and we will pass our plan.Guess what? We did. We voters gave the Republicans the House, the Senate, and the White House, BUT because of  the constant infighting among the different factions in the party, we are where we are today.

The Republicans have the "freedom" Caucus, the "Tuesday Caucus", and a few others funky groups. On top of that, there are the conservatives, the moderates,and who knows who else. These Republicans CANNOT  stick together, they CANNOT agree on any one issue in mass or unity.

This health care bill was to be one of the first bills to solidify the Republicans and the present administration, AND, they failed miserably.

Since the Republicans lied to us for seven years and couldn't, can't, or won't carry the water to the finish line, I'm for voting them out of office next time  around.

At least the Democrats seem to STICK TOGETHER. They may may obstruct, but they do it TOGETHER. The Republicans should have taken a page from the Democrats playbook.  The Republicans should realize that doing things together, in unison, "as a team", miracles can be accomplished. But it is obvious that the Republican Party is not a team player.

Since they have the House, Senate and White House they could have stuck together, in lock step, "for the good of the party", and passed bill after bill. But many of these senators are ego driven, looking to promote their own  agenda, to hold grudges, to be agitators, and get their fifteen  minutes if fame on television and in the media spotlight. They blew off SIX MONTHS since taking office.

I say, enough, is enough of these whimpy, scared, afraid to stick together clowns. They are like a bunch of keystone cops, who by the way, have always caved  in to the Democratic party, on most every issue. When one Republican bails on an issue, the rest fall like a bunch of domino's.They scurry away like a bunch of insects. Clearly, togetherness is not their bag.

Personally, if the Republicans do not get  their act together and  at least pass health care, or tax reform, within the next couple months, I will  not vote for any Republican again. They had their chance and  they lied to us.  However, they can redeem themselves by passing  the promised bills they ran on. I think these rag, tag, Republicans have had  their bite at the apple and they couldn't deliver, as promised.

You can bet that I, and others, will remember the names of these Republicans that chose to derail the health care bill, and the Republican party. We, the people, need and appreciate Republicans that pledge and promise, while they are running for office, to stick together and vote in unison, once they are elected. They should also disband these  funky, crazy caucus groups within  the party. If they run as a Republican, and get elected, then they should support the party's policies and agenda. That is why the voters put them into office-- to support and pass the presidents policies.

As a side note, my friends, acquaintances, associates and relatives feel the way I do. And they have friends, relatives and associates, and they all vote. And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
