Lots of Democrat senators up for reelection in 2018. I’m guessing they might be more cooperative than you think.

That's my point. Not in the next 2 years, but perhaps after.

That's two years too long for me.

What about those RINO Sinators?

“...reelection in 2018...”

Bingo.

Jujitsu is the art of using an opponents strength against them.

And what “strength” can we use against our Rino & Dem opponents?
Answer: their fervent desire to be re-elected.

The execrable Joe Manchin, for example. 'Rat-fink Jim Justice got elected governor in WV by pretending to be some sort of 'conservative'. Munchkin knows on which side the bread is buttered.

You may be right IF there is a viable alternative proposed that would be popular with their constituency. Just repealing Obamacare without replacing it will likely fail, imo.

(and the alternative will most certainly need to be based on free market principles to the maximum extent possible which by definition will have to remove the federal government from the equation)

Perhaps the Trump administration will be able to propose a plan that even the people in blue states would support, and Trump can exhibit his negotiation skills in getting it through Congress. He would need to use the bully pulpit to sell the populace on his plan (similar to how Reagan went directly to the people) and counter the misinformation tactics of the Left in the MSM.

Bingo. Those MFers know this is a turdburger.

If not done by 2018 Trump will be primaried by others saying they can “Repeal Obamcare” even though their allies are probably stopping Trump from repealing it - Sybeck1

Ten of those, I read, are from states Trump won. Including Sen. Manchion (sp) of WVa, a state which went for Trump almost 2:1. This is likely to focus some minds quite powerfully, I would think.

And if the War on Coal has done that to Democrats in WVa, what will the disaster which is the Unaffordable-Obama-Don’t-Care Act of 2009 do to any Senator who fights Repeal/Replace? Especially when the WH pen and the phone are available to make sure that their states feel the pain good and hard . . .

Manchion will IMHO switch parties in the immediate future. Because he seems to have no prospect of ever being in the majority - or even of surviving in office into February 2019 - as a Democrat.
