"Republicans ran on repealing and replacing Obamacare for seven years, over the course of four election cycles"
"In 2010, they campaigned on repeal, but by 2011, they said they needed the Senate. In 2014, they won the Senate, but by 2015 they said as long as Obama was in office, nothing would become law. In 2016, they told conservative voters, even reluctant ones, that if they voted for Trump despite any reservations, they'd finally be able to repeal Obamacare. In November, voters gave them unified control of Washington. And yet after just two months on the job, they have thrown in the towel and said they're willing to abandon seven years of promises"
"Here's the bottom line: Republicans didn't want to repeal Obamacare that badly. Obamacare was a useful tool for them. For years, they could use it to score short-term messaging victories"
"Failing and then walking away on seven years of promises is a pathetic abdication of duty"

It had to fail, the republicans could not stand the fact one American aside from their benefactors would benefit. When will the voters realize the republicans play them, they give them someone, some group, to hate or disparage and laugh all the way to the bank. It is among the the great comedies of human nature, no great writer could possibly do it justice. And still they follow....

I'm pretty sure that Dan Quayle made the biggest political broken promise when he guaranteed that if he and Poppa Bush were elected that no other nation would have better educated U.S. Citizens.

LBJ argues he should be in the running.

Nope, no comparison between LBJ and Tricky Dick.
Tricky Dick was a criminal thug with very few redeeming qualities.
LBJ was responsible for improving the lives of tens of millions of Americans over the last half century, because of Medicare, Medicaid, Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act, and a plethora of public services and laws we take for granted these day, and we even forget they came from LBJ.
The accomplishments Tricky Dick had, absolutely pale in comparison to the improvements to America LBJ was responsible for. If it had not been for Vietnam, LBJ would be considered one of our top five presidents ever.
No comparison between the pure, criminal evil of Tricky Dick, and the flawed but transformational LBJ.

LBJ had dedicated himself to never losing another election in the corrupt system of Texas politics, by becoming all-powerful himself. He was long past hope by the time he became president.
