“Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed — they’re dangerous,” said the Republican leader, who is a polio survivor.

This is apparently the point where the “moderate” Republicans are willing to start pushing back — where they’ve got personal experience with just how evil a policy is.

    Probably the single benefit of him being as old as he is. He had polio as a kid. He knows exactly how bad that shit is. He might be a stupid, evil motherfucker, but even he isn’t that stupid.

      It’s also the only reason he cares. Because the only time a Republican ever cares about suffering is if they have personal experience with it. They have a total lack of empathy.

        It’s not the only reason. He also isn’t running for office anymore. If he was still running he’d probably say nothing.
