					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt; This especially includes the vigorous objection to “Obamacare” which originally came out of a conservative think tank, if I remember correctly.  This especially includes the vigorous objection to “Obamacare” which originally came out of a conservative think tank, if I remember correctly. &lt;/blockquote&gt;

It was a modification of the plan Romney put in place as governor, which was itself essentially the plan the folks at the Heritage Foundation put together in the 90s when the right feared HRC and her committee would put together working out of the White House. It would have been the counter-proposal by the Republicans. 

Of course the right doesn&#039;t speak about that (and the Heritage Foundation no longer employs anyone who even tries to present a rational point of view.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Re: &quot;2) Joe’s point that he can work across the aisle is outdated by decades, and untenable.&quot;

It&#039;s hard to imagine how he could even make that statement after being VP and watching the across-the-board obstructionism of the Republican members of Congress.  This especially includes the vigorous objection to &quot;Obamacare&quot; which originally came out of a conservative think tank, if I remember correctly.  (No wonder they can&#039;t replace it.)]]></description>

Yes, that is another layer of all this. We have shifted away from the fiery speech to the not so subtle dog whistle.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Senators who argued in their prime that Americans should be separated by skin color in every area of life from the use of a water fountain or bathroom to the school they attend or the job they can have.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

In other words, those senators from the past weren&#039;t shy about saying what they wanted.  Today&#039;s Republican party wants to return to those things, but they don&#039;t have the guts to speak it out loud (yet).

We need to support whoever comes out as the one to run in opposition to Trump. We also need to hope they don&#039;t stupid themselves into the loss column before the big game.]]></description>
