As someone new to dealing with the political scum of this country, I'm willing to give Trump some latitude regarding his tacit acceptance of this "initial step", however as he did with leaving the Obama scum in place throughout the bureaucracy, he should not make the same mistake and underestimate the gutlessness and deceit of these GOPe vermin.
“.....willing to give Trump some latitude regarding his tacit acceptance of this “initial step” ...
This is the position that I am holding as well. Trump is a master deal maker! after all. He absolutely has the talent to take his current position based partly upon how plans to negotiate this as it plays out over real time and the bill will morph (not by accident) into the form he wants. He does hold veto power in the end.
Trump is fully trustworthy and he will make sure this bill is hammered out and negotiated until it is correct. Trump has promised us repeal and reform and he is fully aware of the ramifications of a disastrous Obamacare lite being passed.
