“Republicans have always had a rare gift for paying the political price associated with revolutionary change without actually accomplishing anything revolutionary. They're savaged for actions they were intimidated out of taking.” ~John Hayward. In this episode, I explain how we are getting sold out on every issue in the budget battle and we are also facing a catastrophic loss at the ballot box. The two issues are quite intertwined, and I describe how Republicans managed to pull off the worst stewardship of government of all time – suffer all the liabilities of power but get none of the benefits. They are stoking the opposition beyond anything we’ve seen while doing nothing to energize their base or reclaim lost voters in the middle. I go over the health care, immigration, budget, and spending betrayals and how the current budget setup is a triple play. The soft bigotry of low expectations and complacency from those who call themselves movement conservatives is taking a toll.  If you are looking for a thematic podcast that encapsulates our mission statement, this is the one for you.   Show links The gory details of the budget bill House committee seeks to limit judicial power but party will never fully embrace it Politicians doubling down on the causes of border surge   My strategy in 2016 for successful repeal of Obamacare How Republicans sabotaged us on health care Copyright CRTV.
