Scores of lessons are to be had from the failure of Trump and the Republicans to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA or Obamacare). Many will point to the divisions between moderate and conservatives within the Republican Party as the reason why the ACA repeal failed. Real leadership, as presidential historian James MacGregor Burns defines it, is authority guided by principle. They had good reasons to oppose the ACA repeal bills, but how much was payback we shall never know. No one seems to be growing up, taking responsibility, acting like an adult because, frankly, that sucks for this administration.
