| [Townhall] From Day One, Republicans coming into office said they would repeal and replace Obamacare. Obviously, they forgot that for the past seven years they had promised that very thing. They should have been prepared to present a viable plan. Turns out they really had no idea what was in the plan they claimed they had. And it appears they had no need to understand what the plan was all about and how to debate its specifics because they knew it would never come to fruition. I can only conclude they lied to voters by giving the public the impression they were ready to repeal. Because a repeal-and-replace didn’t happen on Day One or Day 50 or Day 200, Republicans proved to the American voter once again the depth of their lack of leadership. Frankly, Congress--Republicans in particular--has shown us just how dysfunctional they really are. |

| #5 They also were totally expecting HRC to win so they "knew" they could do nothing but talk. They are most all well entrenched members of the Beltway Party and don't want the status quo to change lest it upset their particular apple cart. |

| #4 They've conflated smaller government with ineffective government. Unfortunately, it hasn't gotten smaller. |

| #3 I don't think they're dysfunctional. I think a majority of them are fine with government interference in the marketplace. |
