"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.

Wasn't very good?
But the whole campaign he said he had something that was way better? It would cover EVERYONE, cost less, provide better healthcare, give everyone more choice and be ready to go on day 1. And it would be "easy" to pass.
Don't even tell me...Trump was making all of that up?

I do believe it. It is incredibly obvious. Somestimes you have to take some short term hits for accomplishing the longer goal. It's obvious trump wasn't gung ho on this, and obvious his supporters didn't like it either. And the same time this is happening, breitbart releases the ryan tape about never defending trump/deserting trump. If you are trump and have wanted to take our Paul Ryan or marginalize him, this is the best way to do it. Give him a sense of false confidence, let him put his name and energy into this bill, and when it fails... well trump isn't going anywhere.. but Ryan might. There are already talks about him being replaced with possibly gowdy or someone else.
Then Trump can come in and make a new deal with the freedom caucus or whatever else. Right now, getting Ryan out of the way is priority number 1. You have to take out the GOPe as much as possible. Once you clean house, then you can get down to business.
Trump doesn't want to lose a game of tiddlywinks - much less a high-profile legislative battle that he predicted would be easy for months.
You don't understand psychology if you can't see that about his ego.
This wasn't part of a long-term strategy. Trump thought he would win, and he didn't.

Agreed. Trump may have made a mistake and, if he still chooses to make repeal/reform a priority, then he can start working with stakeholders outside of government to gain information on how that reform or new legislation should take shape, as well as, develop a broader level of support.
Then again he may drop it for greener pastures with little harm done to his reputation.

AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

Quite honestly, that sounds like most politicians running for office. He could also have very well believed it, and then reality sank in that the government is not a corporation, nor run like one.
And he burned so many bridges running for office, did he really think all would simply be forgotten and forgiven once he won.
