Voters 'tasting betrayal' by swamp-dwelling Republicans
[American Thinker] Republican voters are "tasting betrayal" at the hands of swamp-dwelling Republicans who are failing to act on the Trump agenda ‐ and their own promises.

In a scathing column at breitbart.com, Brent Bozell contends that the Republican party is "systematically committing suicide":
They were given everything.

In January of this year, they formally controlled both houses of Congress and the executive branch. Every single thing they'd ever promised was now possible. ...

Repeal Obamacare? Check. End illegal immigration? Check. Build the wall? Check.

Crush the Deep State? Done, by God, done!

There was not a damn thing the Democrats could do to stop them from draining the swamp.

Except the Republican leadership didn't mean it. With the exception of the Freedom Caucus in the House, and literally a handful in the Senate, the rank-and-file didn't either. Not one word of it.
In fairness to Republicans, it takes only a handful of McCains and Murkowskis in the Senate, siding with obstructionist Democrats, to betray the party's promises, but Republicans were elected to get results, not to find excuses.

Citing the Obamacare repeal fiasco and the false starts on tax reform, Bozell contends that the Republicans have accomplished "absolutely nothing" on either front:
There is no difference between Republicans and Democrats. Put them together. They are the swamp.

Bozell adds that, just as the Republicans were given the "power to enact the agenda" they have promised for eight years, they also "now own the federal government, in toto." Obamacare, spending, taxes, "all the graft, all the waste" ‐ it's all theirs.
