Nothing like bragging about permanently eliminating the funding mechanism for Social Security 3 months before an election to own the libs. I'm so old, I remember when GWB floated a plan to gut Social Security back in 2005. It did not go well.

But don't be fooled by what seems to be the mind-numbingly stupid politics of this move. Gutting what conservatives call "the administrative state" (of which Social Security is one of the marquee examples) has been part of the GOP long game for decades. https://twitter.com/SethCotlar/status/1017083607158906880?s=20

These are the old-school conservatives who will stick w/ Trump thru thick & thin. They think of the federal gov't (except for the military parts) as a china shop that needs to be destroyed. Trump is a bull who has no idea what he's doing, but they'll ride him to kingdom come.
