Do I actually see light at the end of the proverbial tunnel? Yesterday's post was even more depressing for me to write than it must have been for all of you to read. I was really feeling depressed that Trump was seeming to be so mad at the Conservatives, mainly of the so-called "Freedom Caucus", that he was turning away from the advice of his conservative advisers, and courting the so-called "moderate" Republican leaders, and even some of the belligerent Democrats, in order to get a health care bill done, and passed. This was exactly the wrong approach, and it frankly "scared the willies" out of me (whatever that is). It must have scared the Freedom Caucus as well, because there are reports of compromise between them and the Trump administration, according to FOX NEWS, and the "Obamacare" repeal and replacement initiative may not be dead after all!
Was this just a ploy of the "Great Deal Maker" to bring the Freedom Caucus to a more compromising position? If it was, it seems to have worked, though now it seems he has to be able to smooth some ruffled feathers among the Republican moderates, (we all know where the Democrats can go). If this thing works, and we actually get a good Health Care bill passed through both the House, and Senate, than all I can say about yesterday's post is, "Never mind!" (the famous quote from Gilda Radner, on the old "Laugh In" show). (Does it seem that my mind can't come up with better lines than that??? I do seem to stoop to the "Laugh In" level a lot, don't I? But it seems there was a lot of wisdom among the likes of Gilda Radner, and the little girl in the rocking chair, played by Lilly Tomlin ["and that's the troof"]..."pfttt"!!!). (I guess that says something about my level of maturity, huh?!)
Oh well, as they say," all's well ...etc.", except this ain't over yet! It could all still blow up in our Congressmen's faces. But as I said, maybe there's light at the end of this tunnel!
