Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York is threatening political payback if congressional Republicans and President-elect Donald Trump try to undo President Barack Obama’s major legislative achievements.

“They will rue the day” they repeal Obama’s health care law, Senate Democrats’ leader-in-waiting told The Associated Press in an interview in his office on Friday. “It’s a political nightmare for them. They’ll be like the dog that caught the bus.”

Trump, after meeting with Obama, said he’d like to keep popular pieces of the six-year-old law, including the requirement to extend coverage to people with pre-existing conditions and the provision allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ health plans until age 26.

But Schumer said it was a non-starter to try picking off favored pieces of the Affordable Care Act. …

Send Schumer to Gitmo.

Send his moonbat niece Amy with him.

Message to Chuckie....Donald Trump was elected president.

If you want to call the shots Sen. Schumer, YOU win your party’s nomination and YOU win the general election.

Until then, take a hike.

Shut up Chucky. Let me quote “one of America’s greatest orators” to you. Barack Hussein Obama. “We won!”

>Unless the post turtle stabs Trump in the back, which is entirely possible...

You misspelled ‘probable’

The (R) ‘leadership’ to remind Schumer\(D) their place....?? I’m afraid DT will be having to fight a 2-front ‘war’.

I would let the democrats try to fix Obamacare if Schumer tries to stop republican reform. They are the ones who broke health care.

Have them deal with their constituents screaming about rising premiums and deductibles.

After we get 60 seats in 2018 then move on it.

This is why it was so vitally important for the Republicans to hold on to the Senate, RINOs and all.

Senate Majority Leader Chuckie Schumer could have blocked all of Trump’s nominations and prevented any Obamanation repeal legislation from getting to the floor of the Senate.

Senate Minority Leader Chuckie Schumer can cry, scream and make faces.

Chuck Schumer,

The last time you all really lost your minds was the 1860s when Republicans took away your slaves.

Now in 2016, the Republicans take away your Obamacare slaves.

I (strongly) disagree.

Strongly.

Unless of course you are calling the “pre-existing conditions” mess, a minor tweaking.

Right Chuck. Other than lose you the House, the Senate, the Presidency, the Supreme Court, and most state legislatures and govenorships Obamacare has been a real political winner. But by all means, keep it in place.
