Ok then, add taking away health care to the Republican platform. Don't forget Benghazi.
If the congress would just get together and reconcile the budgets between the House and Senate, the idiotic sequester would be absorbed into the new budget and not continue to be an anchor on the slow economic recovery. You have Rubio, Cruz, Paul and Lee, all blocking the Senate from even going to conference. These are the guys who complained about not having a budget. Now the senate finally passes one, and they block reconciliation.
"they have joined forces against much of the rest of their party, 11 times to block a meeting between House and Senate negotiators over the last two months unless they can get a commitment that the nation’s debt ceiling will not be raised in the budget-agreement process. It’s a move that’s never been used before, but as they made clear during a heated debate last week, that’s precisely the reason they’re doing it."
Of course there are those that are hoping for economic collapse so they will have any platform.
