This isn't a fatalistic anti-GOP rant. It's a clarion call for Congressional Republicans from across the center-right spectrum to follow through on their endlessly-recited vow to voters over the course of four election cycles, three of which they won.  As President Trump again intoned last night, Obamacare must be repealed and replaced.  Put bluntly and accurately, the law is failing. And in spite of the Official Media Narrative du jour, it's not magically popular all of a sudden; most Americans favor a massive overhaul of the collapsing status quo, and big majorities are open to the core elements of the GOP's reputed replacement plan. Many Republicans argued -- correctly -- for years that they couldn't uproot the law so long as a Democrat occupied the Oval Office. But now voters have handed the GOP a unified federal government. It's time to act.
