As opposed to the GOP and Trump (generally) as I am, my overwhelming reaction to this latest FAILURE of the Federal Government's mechanisms to address healthcare is. . . SADNESS.  Not happiness.  Not any thrill of victory.  Not even pleasure at seeing Trump the idiot suffer another humiliating rejection and defeat of his leaderhsip substance and style.

Right at this moment, this country is not unified, wise, nor empathetic enough to simply make affordable and accessible healthcare for all Americans a fundamental and unconditional priority.  

What a tragedy and embarrassment for us all.
