Sometimes these things, if you give em time to marinate, well have an opportunity to bring us back together and allow us to regroup and get our mojo again, said Rep. Steve Womack (R-Ark.).
That mojo didnt come back over the last seven years, however, and many Republicans are clearly frustrated.
Why cant we do this ... when we have a Republican president? asked Rep. Randy Weber (R-Texas) shortly before the bill went down. It doesnt make sense.

(24,259 posts)In your eagerness to win and get big $$ donations you welcomed foaming at the mouth RW extremists into your party and not only let them play but encouraged and helped them to do so. What was once a rather 'lockstep' party has, for the most part, become a party of rapid snowmen (white, cold, clueless & heartless).
OTOH Democrats are looking downright strong, organised and pulled together by comparison so I'm enjoying a blissful moment of schadenfreude.

(68,565 posts)that comes with being unable to get insurance because of pre-existing or just can't afford it...they are on to you and you will never repeal it. Boehner said in 2012...Obamacare is the law of the land...let's make it better. You should have listened.
