The failure of the GOP House majority to pass the first phase of the healthcare repeal and replacement legislation demonstrates the dysfunction and impotency of the Republican Party. The failure demonstrated that Republicans have three, possibly four, political divisions not one unified party. The GOP is composed of liberal Republicans or RINOS (Republicans in name only), moderate Republicans, and various forms of conservatives including social and physical conservatives. The healthcare reform legislation failure demonstrates that the divisions within the GOP are effectively distinct political parties with distinct and, in this case irreconcilable, differences. If Republicans fail to develop a procedure to manage, control, and unite the disparate factions of the party, the GOP will continue to be dysfunctional and impotent. Consequently, Republicans will cease to be an effective political force in the United States of America. The GOP will cease to be the Grand Old Party and become the Geriatric Obsolete Party.
The GOP is dysfunctional because its leadership lacked the strategic ability to unite the party and forward a complete, cogent, understandable healthcare plan that could be supported by the majority of the party and marketed to the public. At the most, the leadership had seven years to accomplish this vital task and failed. At least, the leadership had four to six months to accomplish this task and still failed. They failed in spite of the fact that they knew that President Trump would sign the legislation when it came to his desk.
Republicans are impotent because the leadership lacked the force of will to convince House Republicans that the plan they forwarded must pass the House. This was the first part of a three part plan that would accomplish the goal of repealing and replacing Obamacare and accomplish the overall goals of the GOP for a more perfect healthcare system in the United States of America.
Hopefully, the Republican Party leadership will solve the problems revealed by the healthcare debacle. The question is, which GOP will they be?
