Why The Hell Are We Always So Nice??!!

On Chris Wallace today, one of our guys brought up that though tRUMP said he was surprised healthcare is so complicated, and then our guy said "that it's ok because even though we all knew it was complicated, it's ok that tRUMP didn't because he's new to politics!" I am sick of our people always being so damn nice, and always making excuses for them!!

If this had been in reverse, and our person was new to politics and had won, and had said that they didn't know healthcare would be so complicated, here is a bunch of stuff their guys would have shouted:

"Are you kidding me??!! How could you not know that??! Why do you think it's taken decades to come up with a plan??"

"Then, why did you make all these grandiose promises about repealing and replacing if you didn't even understand what the hell you were dealing with??!! Why didn't you do some research before you made those grandiose promises??!"

"It doesn't matter that you're knew to politics, every Tom, Dick, and Harry knew that it was complicated!"

"And, if you're going to use the excuse that you aren't a politician to excuse yourself from understanding how complicated healthcare is, then maybe you shouldn't have entered politics!!"

And we need it from our rank and file, too.

In life, it's the way to live. In politics, it's a show of weakness. I wish that was not true.
