NBC Analyst Josh Earnest Notes: Trumpcare Blame Is On Trump
Josh Earnest is now an NBC political analyst, leading many of us to hope and pray he replaces Hugh Hewitt. C'mon!
It's his first day, and it's The Today Show, so expect softballs. But I still laughed at his response to who is to blame for the failure of the Trumpcare bill: Duh, it's Trump!
JOSH EARNEST, NBC: Governing is more complicated and more difficult than campaigning. The challenge of this starts at the top. If you want to be President of the United States and solve problems for the American people, you have to figure out a way to get it done. if you're not willing to call the other side and build bipartisan legislation, you're going to have trouble as long as your party remains so divided.
There wasn't anybody [in the GOP] to improve Obamacare and the problems that everybody know can be solved and improved. We can be in a situation where the President of the United States is not tenable to be in a position, where the President of the United States is saying Obamacare is going to explode. They don't want you to stand idly by.
