Republicans are great at campaigning; SUCK at governing

I know some votes to repeal the ACA were from the Looney Tune "Freedom" Caucus, but the defeat of Obamacare illustrates that many Republicans can talk a good game with voters, but deep down they are scared shitless to actually enact the "Conservative Utopia" they've always talked about because they know too many of us don't buy it. Others have cynically gone along with crazy ideas just to get elected with no intention of doing anything on the extreme agenda that is preached.

Similar things will happen with Abortion, LGBT Rights, etc.

Now is the time for Democrats to go on the offensive and expose the paper tiger of the Republican Party and fight like hell for the ideals of the New Deal!

Works great for campaigning; awfully bad for getting work done.

banked on for elections; decided on the bright idea to elect their own chucklefuck knuckleheads into congress and other elected positions.
