He'd sign Paul Ryan's Medicare decimation, according to ABC News.
He now joins Trump and Gingrich as stumblers out of the gate. This virtually dooms his prospects for getting voted for by actual people with hands.
I'm not sure what the Republicans get out of this besides a grand flame-out show of ideology. Doesn't large pharma, at least, love the program, especially without any negotiations allowed on price? What fictitious, invisible people benefit? Who is lobbying for it?
The near-universal doubling down on this strategy actually baffles me. It doesn't seem to poll well even among the base.
Excellent commentary on the invisible proletariat supporting the plan. Perhaps that's the actual constituency the Republicans represent.
