Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York is threatening political payback if congressional Republicans and President-elect Donald Trump try to undo President Barack Obama’s major legislative achievements.

“They will rue the day” they repeal Obama’s health care law, Senate Democrats’ leader-in-waiting told The Associated Press in an interview in his office on Friday. “It’s a political nightmare for them. They’ll be like the dog that caught the bus.”

Trump, after meeting with Obama, said he’d like to keep popular pieces of the six-year-old law, including the requirement to extend coverage to people with pre-existing conditions and the provision allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ health plans until age 26.

Repeal, and REPLACE.

Obamacare covered a lot of people, who did not have coverage because of pre-existing conditions, and the change of employment status.

Lots of changes in employment status, during the previous administrations. Lots.

Repeal and replace Obamacare. The second half of that statement, is what Donald said, as well as the first part of that statement.

Harry Reid took any leverage Chuckie thinks he has or had...

Reid already blew up the Senate by using the nuclear option...

Unless the post turtle stabs Trump in the back, which is entirely possible...
