That is what I’ve been arguing. Actually, letting Obamacare fail was Trump’s first instinct. He said early on that he told Paul Ryan the BEST thing they could do politically was let Obamacare fail. It was a great idea because then they wouldn’t own the problems with it and the public would uniformly want it fixed. Instead, Trump took Paul Ryan’s advice and started with Obamacare when he wanted to start with taxes. The Republicans failed to deliver. Six months down the drain. In my opinion, he should have started with infrastructure (which would be bipartisan), then went to taxes, and when that was done, do Obamacare.

They should NEVER have said “Repeal and replace” just REPEAL..there was NOTHING to have to replace in the first place..we have had health care in this country for over 200 years, people from all over the world come here for good quality health care, can it use some tweaking, of course no system is perfect, but its sure of a lot better than single payer BS, just ask Charlie Gard, whenever anyone tells you that single payer is the way to go tell them to read about Charlie Gard

Trump is taking the easy way out. ANYBODY can say and do what he is proposing. What he should do is eliminate every single bureaucratic regulation that has been put in place to support Obamacare. And then exempt all insurance companies and all 50 states, and all taxpayers from the legislation....the same way obammy exempted people he wanted exempt.

That is how you kill Obamacare. Then he can tell the senate to take a flying leap.

I am not as smart as our president, but I don’t think this is a good idea.

The “replace” is the sticky, difficult part. Lots of people will be left without health insurance once it is repealed, as far as I understand it.

The only upside that I can see is that it will put pressure on Dems to support a replace. But all they have to do is blame the Reps, who have all three branches of government.

Trump said that he and the GOP won’t “own” it when it fails. Yes; they will. They’ve all promised to repeal - loudly and clearly. If it doesn’t get done and they have House, Senate, and White House, they will be blamed, and rightly so. There’s no excuse for this crap to be going on.

Repeal. No replace. Not the government’s job. These politicians are so in bed with the lobbyists.

IMO it's time to make it clear that we're gonna go after the 10 Senate Rats that are up next year in states that were carried by DJT.

Millions...and millions....and millions should be spent.And the campaign theme of their opponents should be "you voted for Trump but my opponent refuses to acknowledge that."
