Former House Speaker, John Boehner said the GOP won't be able to repeal and replace Obamacare at a closed-door tradeshow in Las Vegas, NV Friday.
John Boehner told a private crowd that Obamacare will never be repealed or replaced by the GOP because Americans and state officials are used to it in a video obtained by The Washington Post.
Boehner also warned that Republicans will get annihilated in 2018 midterm elections if they fail to pass healthcare and tax legislation.
"Here we are, seven months into this year, and yet they've not passed this bill. Now, they're never...they're not going to repeal and replace Obamacare. It's been around too long. And the American people have gotten accustomed to it. Governors have gotten accustomed to this Medicaid expansion, and so trying to pull it back is really not going to work."
Boehner suggested that if the GOP can't get rid of Obamacare completely, to at least eliminate the mandate and some of the taxes.
"When it's all said and done, you're not going to have an employer mandate anymore, you're not going to have the individual mandate. The Medicaid expansion will be there. The Governors will have more control over their Medicaid populations and how to get them care, and a lot of Obamacare taxes will probably go."
Trump 2018: On the primary campaign trail to help primary-out the GOPe dead wood.
The problem with teaching the weak sisters a lesson, is that if the Left gets back in control, they will further accelerate their insane immigration policies, with the intended end of putting the rooted population, who still share the cultural values of the Founding Fathers, into a permanent minority position. (Note: Most of the world does not, so we are rapidly being left with virtually no wiggle room.)
Have Another Drink.....
Crawl into your bottle....
AND STFU!
BoneHead!
Trump is within a hair’s length of a crushing victory with repealing Obamacare. This is so classically Trump. It is funny to watch!
"GOP: We’re working as hard as we can but we can’t get anything past the Senate.
America, 2014: Alright, here's the Senate and control of Congress. Now, let’s see some action!”
Where patriots actually slipped up with control of the House and Senate in 2014 is this imo. Regardless that ordinary voters now “own” the Senate through the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, it remains that patriots still hadn’t won enough control of either House in the 2014 elections for Congress to override a predictable Obama veto of a bill to repeal unconstitutional Obamacare.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Senate RINOs are happy that they didn’t have a supermajority vote to override an Obama veto of an Obamacare repeal bill.
On the other hand, consider FReeper Bobalu’s great suggestion for Congress to find enough votes to override a presidential veto concerning Obamacare with respect to upcoming 2018 mid-term elections.
From a related thread …
Given that corrupt, uniparty Congress gives Pres. Trump a half-baked Obamacare repeal bill …
"Veto and force them to override with dem votes and show their true colors." —Bobalu
With all due respect to the rats, drain the swamp sewer! Drain the sewer!
Since corrupt Congress is the biggest part of the sewer (imo) that Trump wants to drain, it is actually up to patriots to drain the sewer in the 2018 elections, patriots supporting Trump by electing as many new members of Congress as they can who will support Trump.
In the meanwhile, patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting candidates on the primary ballots.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to make sure that candidates are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed here.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Also, unlike incumbent members of Congress who wrongly remained silent while misguided state officials abridged the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens during the lawless Obama Administration, patriots need to make sure that candidates on the 2018 primary ballots commit to the following.
Candidates need to commit to making and enforcing 14th Amendment-related laws to prosecute misguided state officials who use state powers to abridge constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression and free speech for example, such actions prohibited by Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
”14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”
The new Soviet normal...
Used to illegal subsidy of their speech and lack of term limits, how about that
They’re out looking for their gonads with both hands and a mirror. So far, NADA nads found.
Drain the SEWER.
In the smoke filled rooms the Pubes are sitting and figure figure figure figure calculate all sorts of mental gymnastics to come up with some devious plan to avoid actually doing anything. They are convincing each other that if they say this or that then they can fool the rubes into voting for them again.
The idea that they should act forthrightly would never cross their corrupt little minds. Everything has to be done in a sneaky underhanded fashion.
Yea, yea, yea. Eric Cantor lived under the same false sense of security. Then he was bounced by the Brat.
