“President Donald Trump said he plans to approve a healthcare plan “within two weeks,” in an interview that aired July 19 on “Fox News Sunday.”

The bottom line George that you don’t seem to give a shit that Trump continually lies to the American people. It is intelligent people like you that have allowed the Republican party to support this behavior because you are an enabler of Trump.
Whatever happens to the Republican party, as you articulated brilliantly in your Dilemma of a Disillusioned and Disaffected Republican post, is because of people of your persuasion that refuse to speak out against this man who is a total liar. My latest example occurs almost every day.
In 2016 you expressed in this blog that you were a Romney supporter early on. Romney is at least a man of integrity and he has been ostracized by the Party.
My speculation is that Trump will probably lose so the question is where does the Republican party go from here. Of course I may be wrong but that’s the way it looks at this time and although you won’ express it you probably agree.
