It's hard to overstate how badly the GOP has botched things when it comes to health care. They spent 6 years of promising that they'd repeal ObamaCare if only they "had the House, the Senate, and the White House," so voters gave them all three. Unfortunately, it's turned out that - for a large percentage of them - repeal was never really a goal. It was a talking point, and a bit of political theater, designed to keep them in their cushy jobs.
This week's disastrous, spineless, betrayal is a spectacular gift for Democrats. Not only does it damage Republican re-election efforts, it shows Democrats that their opponents are empty-suited blowhards, and gives the left a much-needed shot in the arm by creating a major 2018 campaign issue.
