Obama meeting with congressional Democrats in last-ditch effort to save ObamaCare
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/02/17 | Dan Calabrese

Good luck

Unless Chuck Schumer has a procedural trick in mind that will make repeal impossible, the only way the Democrats save ObamaCare is to scare off at least three Republican senators. Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, I assume they’re looking at you, although you’d still need one more. But it might be a measure of how skittish they think Senate Republicans actually are that Obama still thinks it’s worthwhile to rally the troops at this point:

We should start a pool.

“The White House is casting it as an effort to unite Democrats behind a plan to protect the law, known as the Affordable Care Act”

Excellent. With obamacare in a death spiral, Democrat obstruction guarantees enough time for a complete collapse. Obama is setting the Dems up for yet another obamacacare suicide mission that guarantees that they will lose even more House and Senate seats two years from now. Obama will still be haunting the Democrat party even when he is no longer President.

With Donald Trump as President, the fake stream media no longer has the credibility to convince the American people with their lies that the obamacare collapse is all the Republicans fault: President Trump will come out blasting against that kind of fake stream media propaganda, unlike the frightened little Milquetoast Republicans of the past.

Yes, but I do not want him rendering a decision that guts the natural born citizen clause for perpetuity.
On the Supreme Court he would be in a position to decide that a child born to a Palestinian father and an American mother in Saudi Arabia is a natural born citizen of the US eligible to be President.

The repeal is a Trumpobotomy. The replacement is.... freedom.

He is the greatest constitutional thinker in our generation by far. He is an absolute strict constructionist and conservative. He is an oratorical leader needed on the court with the dolt Roberts cratering like an old woman at the first sign of a fight.
Let me just say this. As far as pressing issues before the Court over the next 50 years the very last one is whether a guy born in Canada can be president.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No, he isn’t if he’s willing to reject the parts he doesn’t like because they exclude him from being President.
He put his own ambition above the Constitution.

Democrats only need to peel off three Republican Senators.

NEVER underestimate the capability of the STUPID PARTY (Republicans) to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

They tried stopping Trump right up to election day and even after he won only half-heartedly jumped on the Trump Train. Even then, not all of them have (McCain, Graham, others...) and continue to rail against Trump.

I for one wouldn't be surprised to see the U.S. Senate kill attempts to repeal Obamacare. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Scare off? They're going to pay them off. I'm sure that
there are a few GOPe Senators who want a few million bucks.
