Trump needs to remember his base is still with him. Relying on traditional party politics was never going to get this done because the GOP E doesn't want anything to get done-Rush Limbaugh...(Trump is the only Republican in the country with an army behind him)

July 18, 2017, "Marshal Your Base, Mr. President," Rush Limbaugh 

"Now, here’s what the president needs to realize. I say this with all humility, by the way. Don’t misunderstand. The president needs to realize that his base is still with him. They are with him as much as they ever have been. In fact, it’s actions like this in the House and Senate that make them even angrier, because it doesn’t make common sense. Most people don’t see the world as I just described it; they see it as Republicans and Democrats....They don’t think the Republicans have a lot of desire....

To me, there’s been way too much reliance on traditional party politics to get this done, and that was never gonna get done because the Republicans don’t want to get it done. They don’t. Everybody sees things through the eyes of the left. All they see is (sobbing) “the grief they’re gonna get for taking away benefits from people.” They don’t see all the people who can’t afford it anymore. They don’t see all the people who literally can’t even afford to use the policies they buy because of the high deductibles....

 
The charge that the Republican Party wants to murder people to come is one of the easiest things in the world to rebut and make embarrassing rejoinders out of, embarrassing to the Democrats and the media making the allegation.

Plus, it’s predictable. Everybody knows what the Democrats and the media are gonna say, and they gonna say it no matter what the Republicans do. They’re gonna mock ’em and make fun of ’em and rip ’em and destroy ’em and criticize ’em no matter what they do. It’s been the case for 30 or more years. It’s more, many more than 30 years. But when you see everything through the eyes of the left, when you see everything through the eyes of the media, the way that President Trump is gonna have to make this happen is marshal his army of base supporters....

I have no doubt Trump’s a patriot, believes in America, wants it to be great again, knows that Obamacare subtracting greatly from that. It has to go. It has to go. No matter what governors will be upset if they lose the benefits. It’s destroying health care! It’s destroying budgets. It’s destroying the whole concept of insurance because the government is running it."...

"Rush's famous quotes:"

"It is abundantly clear that the career Republicans in Washington don't want to touch Obamacare. They don't want to repeal it. And they don't want to do tax reform. And they don't want to build a wall. They don't want to do any of the Trump agenda."

Comment: Then what does GOP E want? Easy. The same thing democrats and donors want:  

Open borders, Endless wars, extreme globalism, massive free trade deals, massive central government, and the certainty that US voters can never again effect significant change in the country.
