Catherine Rampell: The Parties Top 2 Priorities Are Duds. So What Does The GOP Stand For?

Alan: Over the last year, I have been unusually impressed by Catherine Rampell's insight and cogency.

If you’d asked me a few years ago to name the GOP’s top policy priorities, I would have said: 1) Obamacare repeal and 2) tax cuts. Today, the GOP seems to believe that both are duds with voters. Worse than duds: huge liabilities

   You are delusional. 1) People wanted to keep their doctors. They were RIPPED away from their doctors by ObamaCare narrow networks. 2) People LOVE the tax cuts. Every single person I have talked with has seen how the Fed cut out of their paycheck is smaller. HUGE ASSETS.

   Wow Cole. “Every single person I’ve talked with...”? Ever take statistics to get your degree?? Multiple polls have tax cut support in the mid-30s - topping out at 40 by #FoxNews. No matter, these old pols & friends cared more about pocketing the cash than the next election.

   Dr. Cole to you. I know more statistics than you can dream about. I also know how ACCURATE the polls were in 216. Remember the @NYTIMES reporting a 99% probability of a victory by @hillaryclinton on election day. BWAHAHAHAHA! We on the right LIE to pollsters. Get it?
