Washington (CNN)When Iowa reporters asked Sen. Chuck Grassley on Wednesday about the attempt to repeal and replace Obamacare, his answer was remarkable and revealing.
"You know, I could maybe give you 10 reasons why this bill shouldn't be considered," the Iowa Republican said. "But Republicans campaigned on this so often that you have a responsibility to carry out what you said in the campaign. That's pretty much as much of a reason as the substance of the bill."
So. Huge points to Grassley for honesty there".
"And, President Donald Trump doesn't seem to have any concerns about the policy of Graham-Cassidy as long as it gets him a legislative win".
Now that is some true statesmanship and leadership, one hell of a reason to pass legislation!
