I mean the GOP itself more or less tried to do what the autopsy suggested, it was the voters who ignored it.

The problem with the autopsy report was it identified the symptoms but didn't identify the cause. The reason the Republicans are needing to campaign so hard right on cultural and social issues is because of the fact their positions on issues like Healthcare, Infrastructure are unpopular with the base.

If they moderated on Healthcare they would have more appeal across the board 

Exactly.

That's what I've been saying for a while too.

That needs to be the first thing the GOP moves left on.

If anything they'll do worse than before if they try following the GOP's 2013 autopsy report.

One reason I supported Kasich was the fact he actually was one of the republicans who had moderates on healthcare.

Problem was the establishment hated Kasich for moderating on the issue and the base viewed it as a surrender to Obama .

Nixon not being able to get his healthcare plan over the finish line is one of the worst things to happen to the GOP politically in the recent past. All that leverage could have been taken off the board 50 years ago.

Trump also could have just not gone for healthcare reform .


He could have done these 2 things instead :


- Infrastructure Deal which he promised and 50 billion dollars out of the 1 trillion infrastructure package he promised goes to the Wall. It’s partially paid for by withdrawing from Afghanistan

- Immigration: Strictly go after businesses who hire illegal immigrants and punish their employers as well


If he had done this he could actually claim he secured the borders and got an infrastructure package signed which builds up our infrastructure instead of nation building elsewhere


The Nixon plan is all Republicans could have asked for in a UHC plan too. Not whatever they think flies this day.
