Every Republican with a conscience—that is to say, all seven of them—must be down on their knees thanking John McCain for putting what is very probably the last, or at least penultimate, nail in the coffin of the Republican’s grotesque “ZombieCare” bill, so named because the only people who would benefit from its enactment are the undead.
That bill, which would have done incalculable damage to the American health care system—incalculable because the Republicans wouldn’t let it be calculated—was, and still is, an utter disgrace, most especially to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, for letting such a fraudulent piece of legislation surface and be primed for passage.
The Republican Party is no longer a political party. It is a gang. There are “good people” in it—good people who do nothing, while evil triumphs. In order to save their careers, and to “save” the country from the utterly conventional Hillary Clinton, who would likely do no more harm to the country than her husband did, they have made themselves subservient to the whims of the oafishly corrupt Donald Trump.
Back in the day, Howard Cosell said of attempts to “clean up” professional boxing—“You can’t clean up boxing. You can’t clean up mud.” Donald Trump is mud, and mud is what the Republican Party is lying in these days.
