Republicans Sued for ‘Racketeering’ Over Trumpcare’s Failure © Aaron P. Bernstein//ReutersCongressional Republicans failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act—so a former Trump volunteer wants to repeal his donations to the party. Robert Heghmann is a former Trump campaign volunteer, and a sworn enemy of ObamaCare. In a lawsuit filed in Virginia’s Eastern District Court on Thursday, Heghmann says he and fellow Republicans had donated to the GOP with the understanding that the party would repeal the ACA once they took control of Congress. But Republicans’ doomed repeal efforts last month left Heghmann feeling scammed. He accuses the party of running a racketeering and mail fraud scheme to rip off anti-ObamaCare donors—and he wants the GOP to return every donation it received since 2013. Heghmann, 70, contributed “well over $1,000 supporting Republican Party Events and Republican Candidates based upon the pledge... that if Republicans contributed money and votes to the Republican Party and Republicans successfully took control of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, Republicans in Congress would Repeal and Replace Obamacare,” he claims in his lawsuit. (Federal Election Committee filings only list $750 in donations under Heghmann’s name. Heghmann could not be reached for comment.)..
He has a point. The establishment republicans still don't get it. They are desperately clinging to the belief that trump was an aberration and that things will go back to normal once they are rid of him. Too bad the democrats are so loathsome and crazy that no reasonable person could vote for them.
