We need to keep pounding that drum. We are relatively small in number, but far from impotent.
“It does not take a majority to prevail; but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. ” – Samuel Adams
See if he has any desire to live for awhile in another country, especially a more hard-core socialist country. Encourage him to go there for awhile and help him financially to do so if you can.
I believe he'll leave as a confused boy and come back as a straightened-out man who would much more appreciate the freedoms we still enjoy in America.
Trump ran on “repeal and replace” not just “repeal”. Tens of millions lost their insurance through work, and now have Obamacare. Many are older, with preexisting conditions, and they helped elect Trump. Just repealing it leaves them with nothing, something Trump promised he wouldn’t do. Unfortunately the Republicans have to clean up the mess left behind by Obamacare or they and especially Trump will get the blame. Just repealing isn’t enough.
Too bad. It’s none of his business (constitutionally) and he needs to get over it and go to full repeal before it destroys the rest of his agenda.
By the way, I meant too bad for Trump not too bad the elderly people and others you referred to in your post.
Trump the president is a different entity from Trump the candidate. The president is required to faithfully execute the office of the president to the best of his ability and to preserve, protect and defend the constitution.
I just saw a poll that only 7% of Americans think repealing Obamacare is the top issue (5th place). The top concerns are jobs and tax reform. Trump is right to leave it for now and concentrate on the rest of his agenda. IMHO getting stuck on healthcare will sink the rest of his agenda, and make him a one termer. Time to move on and come back to it later.
I hear what you are saying, but you have to consider politics too. You can’t change anything if you lose elections.
He won the election already. Now his duty is to uphold the constitution and MAGA. And I guarantee you that if he repeals Obamacare, builds the wall, enforces the law, deports them all, ends sanctuary cities, slaps a moratorium on Muslim immigration, dumps the Iran nuke deal, makes better trade deals, brings back manufacturing and jobs, ends the war on coal, gas & oil, gets domestic oil flowing, dumps the EPA, cuts taxes, cuts spending, cuts debt, cuts regulations, cuts government, restores the constitution and liberty, returns education to the states, and secures the borders, secures the nation and rebuilds our military he will go down in history as the greatest president ever.
Screwing us over with Obamacare or GOP-Obamacare-lite will seriously degrade his chances of accomplishing much of anything. In fact, he will be the Establishment’s bitch from that day forward.
The most important thing he ran on and what even got him out of the starting gate is that he was the ANTI-Establishment candidate who was going to drain the swamp and make America great again!
Ryan is a swamp dwelling establishment snake. Ryancare is a piece of unconstitutional, unwanted, unsustainable, big government socialist, anti-freedom, anti-American, establishment swamp snake feces! Flush him and it!
