The Victors

Bush 1 raised taxes and passed the ADA. Bush 2 expanded Medicare. The alternative to Hillarycare was a Heritage Foundation plan using private indusres on a national exchange. Sound familiar?

• Why can't this administration just be normal? - By Alpo September 16, 2026 at 06:28:28 PM
  • seems like a question applicable to UMs AD* - By ajs September 16, 2026 at 10:15:33 PM
  • LOL. This is natural progression of the Republican Party. Bush was a lying piece of shit. Mitch stole SCOTUS seats. Anyone who voted for R’s pre-Trump own this.* - By crumbs September 16, 2026 at 06:31:59 PM
    • For me the turn was 2002-4. Surprise election of guy in way over his head, he gets in over his head, then anything to win. Not just dirty politics, - By ftb September 16, 2026 at 07:48:59 PM
    • Great post* - By Poster P September 16, 2026 at 06:55:23 PM
    • People who voted for Trump own this. Nothing more. Nothing less. Bush did as much to pave the way for this as Clinton did. Trump was a Dem back then** - By xcheck September 16, 2026 at 06:47:12 PM
      • Remind me, was it Clinton's Supreme Court justices who voted to give Trump a blank check in Trump v. US? - By GritsGoBlue September 16, 2026 at 07:41:24 PM
      • Bullshit. Trump is Frankenstein's fat monster, created by conservative movement. He's the dumb uncle who nodded along while Rush Limbaugh called the Obamas monkeys or railed against "Feminazis."* - By Bluebuck September 16, 2026 at 07:03:58 PM
      • bullshit. Hillary tried single payer, the GOP congress killed it. Clintons have nothing to do with this bullshit. The GOP owns all of it. They have always been moving this way in my lifetime, Ronnie on down* - By Daytripper September 16, 2026 at 06:54:44 PM

      • No, that’s just bullshit. Clinton raised taxes and balanced the budget. And your party at the time impeached him. * - By crumbs September 16, 2026 at 06:51:31 PM
      • Remember when Mitt French kissed Trump 15 years ago for his endorsement? (nm) - By suede September 16, 2026 at 06:51:25 PM
      • This is absolute hogwash. Trump is the natural ending point of movement conservatism, as its contradictions and inanities stripped the already minimal intellectual grounding from the GOP. (nm) - By suede September 16, 2026 at 06:50:22 PM
    • You are my guy, but what a crock of shit. Every Dem on this board cheerleaded for Trump in 2016 primary like it was a game and he was Michigan. * - By BBA September 16, 2026 at 06:42:09 PM
      • I have correctly been posting about the BASE for 15 years!!!* - By Cincywolve September 16, 2026 at 06:57:48 PM
        • Spare me, dude. All this nonsense about how predictable Trump was, but you all cheered for him because he was such a clown in 2016 and the appointed one had a 0% chance to lose to him! * - By BBA September 16, 2026 at 07:21:15 PM
          • Cheered for no. Predicted yes and called out Ed’s barrage daily - *** - By Cincywolve September 16, 2026 at 07:32:38 PM
            • You cheered him. Everybody was laughing during the debates* - By BBA September 16, 2026 at 07:38:52 PM
              • Still laughing. Did you write in a vote for Rubio, Kasich ?* - By Cincywolve September 16, 2026 at 07:53:41 PM
                • You are auto posting Onion articles as long as they give you confirmation bias hit * - By BBA September 16, 2026 at 08:11:57 PM

    • LOL -- how far back you wanna go with that? Reagan? Nixon? Eisenhower?* - By Alpo September 16, 2026 at 06:41:17 PM
      • Goldwater. Reagan was a radical. Romney’s immigration plan was self-deportation and that is Stephen Miller’esque* - By crumbs September 16, 2026 at 06:45:37 PM
        • Romney also saw Russia as a geopolitical adversary whereas Trump sees Putin as a friend. - By GritsGoBlue September 16, 2026 at 07:43:49 PM
        • Tell me about ”super predators”** - By xcheck September 16, 2026 at 07:00:17 PM
        • Bush W touted amnesty! Romney's health plan in Mass was basically Obamacare. They were all multilateralists and laissez-faire economically. - By Alpo September 16, 2026 at 06:49:09 PM
          • Go and read what you voted for in 2012. It’s not the same.* - By crumbs September 16, 2026 at 06:52:45 PM
            • That is feeding my point. The Tea Party took over the GOP and Romney spinelessly went along with it. - By Alpo September 16, 2026 at 07:05:58 PM
              • Romney not racists enough for the BASE!* - By Cincywolve September 16, 2026 at 07:08:24 PM
            • I'm tired of GOP voters that happily slurped up racist ronnie to get lower taxes saying oh no Trump is the bridge too far. You guys all helped usher this in. GOP is a sick, demented party, always has been. Trump is the dead end* - By Daytripper September 16, 2026 at 06:56:13 PM
      • Lincoln freed the slaves!** - By xcheck September 16, 2026 at 06:45:05 PM
    • Agreed. Great post. (nm) - By suede September 16, 2026 at 06:33:41 PM
  • They are normalizing* - By Cincywolve September 16, 2026 at 06:31:35 PM
