Erstwhile Republican John Bohlinger is running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senator. That’s a national office, so he should be discussing national issues. Instead, he’s advising Governor Bullock to call a special legislative session on Medicaid expansion, apparently oblivious to the fact that the legislators who rejected expanded Medicaid in the 2013 session have not changed their minds. He’s both stirring the wrong pot and expecting to cook a new soup with the same old ingredients.
The old John Bohlinger was a gentleman as well as a politician. This John Bohlinger, older and apparently less wiser and restrained, is an embarrassment.
