How he gave us Donald Trump.
That was certainly a huge factor. That ObamaCare decision was a legal atrocity.
[Update a couple minutes later]
Trump has shown that conservatism doesn’t really matter to the GOP.
I think we sort of figured that out with the first President Bush (that Veep pick was probably one of Reagan’s most damaging decisions). This is just the natural culmination of the process.
I was noting this morning on Twitter that Rush Limbaugh must be kicking himself to realize how easy it is for a wealthy communicator to have taken over the party. I’d have happily supported him.
Trump is the tuba player who the symphony orchestra selected as their union representative. They wanted their biggest, toughest-looking guy across the bargaining table from management . . .
For elites, power is all that matters. They took the voters for granted and someone came along to say, “enough.” Proof is GOPers saying they will vote for Hillary.
Rush could not have succeeded like Trump.
