Republicans Are the Party of No Ideas

Reason: In the Trump administration, its always infrastructure week. But its less of a legislative rollout and more of a state of mind. Despite promises dating back to the 2016, the White House admitted yesterday that there wont be any infrastructure bill this year.
Whether you view Trumps infrastructure plan as a smart way to leverage federal spending, another federal boondoggle, an on-brand political move with cross-partisan potential, or, like me, some mix of the above, the elimination of the bill from this years agenda is yet another reminder of how little Republicans have to offer in terms of substantive policy.
If anything, the party appears to be giving up on its long-held priorities, and replacing them with vacuous Trumpism.
Loyalty to the president has become a substitute for a governing vision.
