Republicans loose Veterans

Editorial:  Republicans' stance on the issues loose the support of veterans:

Republican leadership consistently attempted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, denying millions access to health care coverage...

Combat veteran and moderate Republican, Kevin Green* cannot support Republicans on key issues such as climate change, gun safety, health care and immigration, nor their current (DJT) leader, and it is past time for a change. 
In my opinion, the scientific evidence on climate change is overwhelming, yet the Republican Party leaders act like ostriches and bury their heads in the sand, trying to bring back coal and lower auto standards. I am not a Green New Deal fan, and I do think carbon fuels (such as natural gas) need to be a bridge to a better, cleaner tomorrow. But we need to act now!

On gun safety: Introducing background checks and eliminating assault weapons with high-capacity magazines are some steps we can take to start turning the tide.

On health care: Republican leadership has consistently attempted to repeal the Affordable Care Act, denying millions access to care. I am not for "Medicare for All," but we need a government option for those that need or want it, while retaining our employer-provided options.

On immigration: It takes labor and capital to create wealth. We need people, and not giving "Dreamers" a path to citizenship is a huge mistake and goes against our core values. When I factor these policy failures with the extremely poor example of leadership from the current White House and Senate Republicans, I feel compelled to speak out and look for a better solution, and that better solution is Mike Bloomberg.

Bloomberg is, without a doubt, the best moderate candidate who can beat Donald Trump in the general election. With his successful private and public leadership experience, he’ll act on key issues and restore faith in America around the world.
