GOP the selfish party

Many people saw Republican candidate Trump as a breath of fresh air. Others saw him as a carnival barker and a thug. Now we see both sides were wrong as we watch his presidency fall apart as we learn more about his family’s potential conflicts of interest and his aides and appointees being questioned about illegal ties to Russia.

Our Republican leaders in the U.S. House voted to repeal key parts of the Dodd-Frank legislation that was to keep us from another Great Depression.

The Republican threats of dismantling of Obamacare, their lack of enforcement of the individual mandate along with not funding the cost- sharing subsidies has already caused insurance companies to withdraw from Klickitat and Grays Harbor counties in Washington state, leaving citizens only able to receive insurance through high risk insurance (WSHIP) from Washington state and not eligible for subsidies because (WSHIP) is not a qualified exchange insurer.

How much longer will we allow the Republican Party to put party above country?
